Commercial buildings have fire resistant barriers intended to save property and lives. There are standards that keep our buildings up to code.  All construction firewalls are rated based on the amount of time the firewall will stop the fire from propagating to the other side. They are very effective because the wires and cables that go through them are required to pass BURN tests that meet or exceed the rating of the firewall penetrated.  

An automobile’s firewall is not really a firewall at all. Most of us call it a firewall but the truth is that there are no standards and no test. No Inspectors and no Fire Marshals. These bulkheads are punctured with a multitude of wires, hoses and cables that are not sealed and offer only minimal protection for the driver or the equipment. Competition drivers are sometimes at speed and in most cases the driver is burned and equipment is damaged.  

Our small firestop company has developed the Automotive Fire Stopper System. Acceptable for use in NASCAR, IMCA and SCCA competition (other racing organizations soon).  Under normal racing conditions, openings around wires, cables and hoses allow gases and fumes to enter the drivers compartment.  Most racers agree that this is “unpleasant”. This firestop system seals the penetration and blocks the gas and fumes as well as offering firestop protection.
