DISPATCH 02
28 AUGUST 2026

Twenty engines to Neasden. The equipment list is the story.

A waste transfer station in northwest London caught fire shortly before midday. Nobody was hurt and the cause is not known. But the authority responsible for the site published a warning about exactly this in January.

DISPATCH 01

You can’t put out a fire you can’t reach.

A fire burning thirty centimetres underground had defeated the farmers for days. It was extinguished by injection, at a dilution of half of one per cent.

THE PRODUCTS
ATOM and TITAN are the two formats of GASVAC™, our microencapsulated suppression technology.

Hydra X

HYDROCARBON, FUEL AND DEEP-SEATED FIRES

A 6% concentrate that changes what a water supply can do — penetration, faster heat removal, and no re-ignition when the stream moves on.

Lithium Black

LITHIUM BATTERY FIRES

Suppresses the flame, cuts the toxic off-gassing, then cools cells individually so heat cannot transfer to the neighbouring cell.

TITAN

CABINETS, PANELS AND ENCLOSURES

A pad fixed inside the enclosure. No power, no wiring, no detection. Discharges clean agent at the seat of the fire.

ATOM

COATINGS FOR VEHICLES AND PLANT

Microencapsulated agent mixed into the coating, activating at the point of heat and drawing heat out as it extinguishes.

Fabric Shield

TEXTILES AND SOFT FURNISHINGS

Treated material carbonises rather than sustaining flame — stopping spread and buying evacuation time.

Mastic

CABLE PENETRATIONS AND SERVICE OPENINGS

Seals the openings through which fire and smoke actually travel between compartments, keeping fire-rated walls and floors intact.

NoPanic

PAN AND FAT FIRES

Take · Slide · Stop. A single-action answer to the most common fire in any commercial or domestic kitchen.

GASVAC™

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND ATOM AND TITAN

Polymer microcapsules that rupture at the point of thermal failure and release clean agent exactly where the heat is.

WHERE IT IS USED

Waste and recycling

Where water alone means contaminated runoff

Battery energy storage

BESS installations and charging infrastructure

Military and defence

Armoured platforms, drones, field operations

Oil, gas and fuel storage

Terminals, depots, filling stations

Power and renewables

Substations, switchyards, solar and wind

Wildfire, peat and land

Moorland, bog, stubble and stockpiles

TECHNICAL LIBRARY

Technical data sheets, safety data sheets and independent test reports are available for every product in the range. We will send them before you order rather than after.

Hydra X has been independently tested to AS5062 in Australia. Lithium Black has passed KIWA testing in the Netherlands. Ask us for the current certification position on any product in your market and we will give it to you in writing.

ABOUT THE FIRE LAB

The Fire Lab is a global fire safety innovation platform, headquartered in Dubai and part of Integrated Resilience Group. We manufacture through our manufacturing partners and deliver worldwide through regional hubs and a network of distribution partners.

Conventional fire safety is reactive. It responds once ignition has already happened. We work at the molecular level, at the point of failure — which is what Offensive Defence means.

Our hubs are in Dubai, South Africa and Switzerland, with an Asia-Pacific hub in development in Singapore.

Partner with the future of fire safety.

One commercial relationship covering lithium-ion, hydrocarbon, electrical and structural fire risk — with a range that grows without adding suppliers.
