ARA Safety's groundbreaking Fire Interruption Technology® is about to take a significant leap forward. Expected to begin shipping in six to eight weeks, the FIT Pro™ improves on the highly successful FIT-5, a device that is credited with saving as much as $8 million in property in just 40 deployments in its first two years of use by firefighteres in the United States. That's an average of almost $200,000 per deployment.
What makes the FIT Pro so much better than its predessor FIT-5? A sleek new design, a safer, reliable activation system, and powerful knockdown, all at the same price.
In fact, we are so excited about the FIT Pro™ that we are offering special introductory pricing. At just $997.50 a unit when you buy two or more, it is an ideal addition to every firefighter's toolbox.
In my opinion, this technology is the next evolution in fire suppression and probably the best tool you can have as a fire department.

Knock Down Fire Fast
ARA Safety's FIT Pro is the most powerful handheld fire knockdown tool available in the world today. FIT Pro handheld knockdown tools are safe, non-toxic and very easy to use. No wonder fire fighters are already describing this new fire suppression technology as the most important new tool in their toolbox.
FIT stands for Fire Interruption Technology. Fire needs fuel, oxygen and heat to sustain a chemical reaction. In seconds, ARA Safety's Fire Interruption Technology removes the fuel from the equation at the molecular level, interrupting the fire tetrahedron, and knocking down flame and heat.
ARA Safety's FIT Pro can be effectively deployed in a wide variety of structure fire scenarios, from incipient to fully involved and in defensive, offensive and transitional modes.
Put Time on Your Side
In many fire response situations, first responders find themselves on site but unable to attack the fire. Water may be unavailable, the duty commander may be on site before volunteer crews and trucks, or an EMS call may have responders delayed leaving the crew short for the two-and-two rule.
Depending on the progress of the fire, deploying a FIT Pro can buy crews fifteen minutes or more. In the life cycle of a fire, as little as five minutes can make the difference between having a home to save and losing the home completely.
Make an Interior Attack Safer
Properly deployed, ARA Safety's FIT Pro interrupts flame and lowers temperature rapidly, making an interior attack safer. In a recent deployment in West Milford, crews were preparing for a dangerous attack on a basement fire when the FIT Pro was deployed. Crews entering the basement minutes later found this fully involved fire had been completely knocked down.
Get Your Crew Home Safely and Quickly
Whether fighting an incipient fire or on a "surround and drown," volunteer Fire Chiefs want their volunteers home to their families safely and quickly. Deploying a FIT Pro will knock flame and temperature down, potentially reducing the time to overhaul by hours and making the process safer.
Help the Environment
Deploying a FIT Pro early at any stage in the life of a fire doesn't only help preserve the contents of the house and make fighting fire safer, it also helps the environment. Fast extinguishment with little or no water means less water used, less polluted runoff and less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases entering the air.
