Keep your apiary safe with the telescopic handle fire beater, an essential tool designed specifically for beekeepers working in natural environments. When a spark from the smoker can become a threat, having the right equipment to combat fires is crucial. This fire beater not only extinguishes fire by suffocation through air displacement, but also offers an effective and reliable solution to protect your hives and their surrounding environment.
A smoker and the dry country of August are poor company. This is what you carry in case that company fails one day.
Fire beater with a telescopic duralumin handle and a 6 mm self-extinguishing synthetic rubber flap. It measures 1,950 mm extended and 1,280 folded, and weighs 1.8 kg.
01 · HOW IT PUTS FIRE OUT
A fire beater does not put fire out by thrashing: it puts it out by displacing the air and smothering the flame against the ground. You beat at an angle and inwards, without throwing up embers.
The flap is self-extinguishing synthetic rubber, fabric-reinforced with double reinforcement at the critical points, and its branched design is what makes it last. It measures 250 × 500 mm and is 6 mm thick.
02 · HOW FAR IT GOES
It is for an incipient fire: a tuft of burning grass, a fallen ember, a small low front. That is exactly what can happen in an apiary with a smoker.
If the fire has taken hold in scrub or trees, or grows faster than you can beat, you leave and you call the emergency number. A fire beater is not a means of extinction for an established fire, and staying to try is how people die in wildfires.
03 · THE HANDLE
The handle is duralumin, 30 mm outside diameter and 25 inside: it does not rust, it takes bending and springs back. Telescopic, it goes from 1.95 m of working length to 1.28 m to carry in the car.
In the high-risk season, many regions require means of extinction to work with fire on forest land. It is worth checking what yours asks for before lighting the smoker in July.
