Designed to support independent living & create peace of mind
Why we made the Adaptive Extinguisher
Traditional fire extinguishers weren't built with everyone in mind. The Adaptive Extinguisher changes that. As the first fire safety tool designed for accessibility, it removes the physical hurdles of emergency response, ensuring that mobility limitations never stand in the way of emergency preparedness.

- Seniors: Supports a safe "age-in-place" lifestyle with tools that are lightweight and easy to trigger.
- Mobility Aid Users: Maneuverable for those using wheelchairs, canes, or walkers.
- Physical & Motor Challenges: Specifically engineered for individuals managing: Limited grip or hand strength. Reduced range of motion. Fine motor skill difficulties.
