Peli Survival Story: Case Fire

When you need equipment protection you can trust, Peli stands out, protecting your valuable gear in the most extreme environments. Here's a real-life example of how Peli’s unparalleled protection made the difference during a fire at a production house in Bristol.

In late 2023, a fire engulfed the office of Films @ 59 in Bristol. The blaze was intense, causing severe damage to the building and its contents. Whilst seeking to retrieve and recover equipment to access the damage there was a surprising discovery that highlighted the resilience and durability of Peli cases.

"We had a large fire in a Bristol office towards the end of 2023," said a spokesperson from Films@59. "We noted that equipment stored in Peli cases had generally fared well and was protected not only from the heat but also from smoke and water ingress. So thank you! It would have been a lot worse without them."

Put It In A Peli

The fire was so destructive that many of the Peli cases had melted together, requiring saws and crowbars to open them. Yet, despite enduring 8 weeks in this harsh environment—exposed to intense heat, smoke, and water—the equipment inside remained in perfect condition.

The Films@59 team expressed their relief and gratitude, stating that the Peli cases had saved them a few million in potential equipment losses.
