Patent Pending - April 2024

Wellington, FL (May 8, 2024) - If your barn caught fire, would you have the proper tools readily available to either put out the fire or evacuate horses safely? Despite having a substantially higher fire risk than most structures, many barns do not have a proper fire safety plan or the tools to save lives in the event of the unthinkable. A group of career firefighters and lifelong equestrians have teamed up to solve this problem, creating a patent pending, one-of-a-kind 'rescue kit' designed for barn fire safety and horse evacuation. Introducing FireHorse Rescue Kits, a company aiming to bridge the gap between the daily life of an equestrian and the risk of barn fires with the result of a safer environment for all.

Each FireHorse Rescue Kit contains safety components handpicked by firefighting professionals; these include proven fire safety tools and innovative equestrian safety items. Double layered foam secures and protects all of the contents, preventing damage or faulty items when they are needed most. Each kit is intended to be hung prominently in barn aisles, breezeways, or high visibility areas, so as to be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.

FireHorse Innovation - Patented Products & Fire Safety for equestrians

One of the kit's integral components are equine blindfolds, developed specifically for use in emergency situations. These horse blindfolds wear like a fly mask and restrict the horse’s vision up to 80%. During fire panic, horses have been known to refuse to leave their stalls or to return to a burning structure seeking safety. FireHorse's blindfolds are intended to allow equestrians or first responders to remove animals safely and intended to reduce injury and panic by removing visual stimulation. They are additionally useful for trailering, for horses sensitive to needles, and to reduce panic when waking up from anesthesia.

Each kit includes two handheld, point & spray canned extinguishers. These are easy to use for any one, from children to senior citizens, and perfect for small fires, especially hay, shavings, or feed room flames. An excellent alternative to more cumbersome, full sized extinguishers, these also require less maintenance and are readily available in the case.

During fires, the heat can melt or make latches, door knobs, locks, and other metal items impossible to handle or touch. Heat resistant to 1472 degrees and flame retardant, the gloves in every FireHorse Rescue Kit are made of a mix of breathable cotton knitting and double layered fiber with silicone for grip and fire resistance.

These are just a few of the innovative items found in each Rescue Kit. For a full list, visit www.FireHorseRescue.com/whatsinside
