H3R HalGuard Fire Extinguishers
(March, 2008) According to the National Fire Protection Association, a car catches on fire once every two minutes. You'd think they'd just drop that car into a lake and be done with it once and for all, but the point remains that racers are even more vulnerable to the threat of fire, and not just on-track; in the pits, back in the garage, and even in your RV, a good fire extinguisher can be the difference between a dramatic tale of disaster averted and the end of your race program (and possibly your life). While many racers are well-prepared for an incident on the drag strip with a fire suppression system permanently installed in their car, and track crews can be relied upon to reach your vehicle in seconds, the same isn't true in the pits, where response time can run into several minutes at best. Because the danger of fire is well-understood, it's common to see consumer-grade dry chemical fire extinguishers in RV's, trailers, and shops. While they're certainly better than nothing, and do a good job on all kinds of fires, dry chemical extinguishers are their own special kind of hell to clean up, and the damage caused by the fine powder may rival that created by the fire in the first place, depending on how quickly it was put out.

H3R Performance touts HalGuard Fire Suppression System
(Nov. 7, 2007) H3R Performance says its HalGuard Automatic Fire Suppression System -- which features a 'clean' extinguishing agent approved by the Environmental Protection Agency -- provides around-the-clock protection for transport trailers, garages or repair shops. The system consists of a steel cylinder charged with a nontoxic, nonconductive and noncorrosive clean agent gas, capped with one of four thermally actuated heads, according to the company; when the head detects an ambient temperature higher than its rating, the system activates to discharge the clean agent to flood the space with an inert and invisible gas, which extinguishes the fire.
