The Safe-T-element™ cooking system was created to address one of the most serious problems in the household – stovetop-cooking fires. Stovetop cooking is the number one cause of household fires in North America.
Most fire safety products alert you to the fact that there is already a problem, or help you suppress the problem. Safe-T-element™ was engineered to help prevent these fires from starting in the first place.
We at ACME FIRE are very proud to be the western distributor of the Safe-T-element®.
