Meeco's Red Devil FireEx Chimney Fire Suppressant - Quick, Water-Free

Emergency Chimney Fire Suppression Without Water or Mess

Chimney fires can flare up quickly and threaten homes with woodstoves, fireplaces, and inserts. FireEx by Meeco’s Red Devil offers a practical, one-step emergency response designed to stop an active chimney fire without risking water damage to the stove, chimney, or interior. This ready-to-use packet is compact enough to keep on hand and simple enough to use in a moment of crisis, giving you a clearer path to protecting your space while you prepare for safer conditions.

Designed for real-world use, FireEx helps you respond to a dangerous flare by delivering a controlled vapor cloud that works to smother flames and cool the flue. It is intended for emergency use during an active fire, not as a preventative maintenance product. For anyone who heats with wood, the product offers a potential line of defense that complements prudent fire safety practices.

How FireEx Works

• Emergency 5” x 5” fire suppression packet; no tools, no flare, no ignition required.
• Simply toss the entire unopened packet directly into an active firebox and close the door.
• A white zinc-oxide vapor cloud forms to help smother flames and cool the flue as the fire dies down.
• Designed for quick action during heating season in woodstoves, fireplace inserts, and fireplaces.

What You Get When You Use FireEx

• No water damage or interior mess—unlike traditional extinguishing methods, FireEx cleans up without moisture concerns.
• One-step use that reduces complexity in high-stress moments and keeps the focus on safety.
• Independently performance-tested to simulate real creosote-fueled chimney fire conditions, providing trusted protection when it matters.

Quality & Heritage You Can Count On

Meeco’s Red Devil has a long-standing legacy of stove and fireplace care. FireEx is proudly manufactured in the USA, reflecting a heritage of reliability since 1937. While it is not a preventative product, having a dedicated emergency option on hand can contribute to a thoughtful, safety-forward approach to home heating.

Guidance for Use
