Description
Fire Buttons
Choose Magnesium or Ferrocerium for a compact, clothing-compatible fire-starting component designed for outdoor survival and emergency preparedness.
Fire-Starting Capability Without Added Bulk
Fire Buttons are available in Magnesium and Ferrocerium versions. Their standard button dimensions allow them to be sewn onto suitable clothing or gear in place of ordinary buttons, keeping an emergency fire-starting resource close at hand without occupying additional kit space.
Originally developed for specialized military survival applications, they are also practical for campers, hikers, survivalists, emergency-preparedness users, and outdoor professionals facing unpredictable conditions.
Magnesium Fire Button
Magnesium is a lightweight, highly flammable metal that works as a powerful fire-starting accelerant. Shavings scraped from the button can be collected with dry tinder and ignited with a suitable spark source.
When ignited, magnesium burns at approximately 4,000°F, helping convert a spark into a sustained flame even under difficult outdoor conditions.
Ferrocerium Fire Button
Ferrocerium is a synthetic pyrophoric alloy containing iron, cerium, and other lanthanides. Scraping or striking it with a suitable hard edge produces a shower of very hot sparks.
The sparks may reach temperatures up to approximately 5,400°F, making the Ferrocerium version an effective ignition source for properly prepared tinder.

Important Fire-Safety Notice
- Use only outdoors or in a controlled, fire-safe environment.
- Clear the area of unintended combustible materials before producing sparks or igniting magnesium.
- Magnesium burns at extremely high temperatures and should never be extinguished with water once fully ignited.
- Wear suitable eye protection and avoid directing sparks toward people, clothing, fuel, batteries, or flammable vapors.
- Confirm that fires are legal and permitted at your location, and fully extinguish all embers before leaving.
- Keep dry, securely stored, and away from children and unauthorized users.
- These are emergency fire-starting components, not guaranteed substitutes for a complete fire-starting kit or proper outdoor skills.
Space-Saving Fire-Starting Technology
Fire Buttons offer a compact way to add emergency ignition capability to clothing, survival gear, outdoor equipment, or preparedness kits without the bulk of a conventional fire starter.
Choose Ferrocerium for spark generation, Magnesium for high-temperature tinder and acceleration, or carry both materials as complementary components of a more complete fire-starting system.
