An extinguisher is an important piece of safety equipment to have in your home or business. But with so many different types and sizes of extinguishers available, how do you choose the right one? Here are a few things to consider when selecting an extinguisher: - The type of fire you are likely to encounter. Class A extinguishers are for common combustibles like paper or wood, while Class B extinguishers are for flammable liquids like gasoline. - The size of the extinguisher. Smaller extinguishers are easier to handle and can be stored in
A home fire extinguisher is good for about 10 years.
Fire extinguishers are pressurized canisters containing a dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide agent for putting out small fires. The amount of pressure in a fire extinguisher is important for its efficacy. The pressure in a fire extinguisher is measured in pounds per square inch (psi). Most fire extinguishers have a pressure of between 100 and 200 psi. The higher the pressure, the more effective the fire extinguisher will be. It is important to check the pressure in your fire extinguisher regularly. If the pressure is too low, the fire extinguisher will not
There are four steps in using a fire extinguisher: 1. Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher. This will break the tamper seal and allow you to discharge the extinguisher. 2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. 4. Sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the fire until it is extinguished.

To replace the original two I purchased at a big box retailer a few years ago, I recently got the two pack. They're in the pantry in the kitchen. On Easter Sunday, I put a chicken on the rotisserie, ignited our well-kept grill—which is less than five years old and had a full tank of propane—and went inside. The grill caught fire in just three minutes. I grabbed one of these extinguishers and, from a decent distance away, managed to push the flames back. My husband unlocked the grill's bottom, where the tank is located, while wearing leather gardening gloves, and I continued to spray while he switched off the gas. Where it entered the grill, the hose that supplies the gas to the burners broke. When I last cleaned the grill, the hose appeared fine and the connection was secure. Our new grill does not have a rubber component, so it should live longer, but you can know I'll replace those every year.The chicken, which was already dead, was placed in the oven without incident, and we sipped on some fine cocktails while our hearts began to beat normally.

Just so you know, the extinguisher's plastic wall mount fits VERY snugly on it. The mount will come off right along with the extinguisher if you connect this to drywall and try to use it. So if you don't want that to happen, attach to a stud. That being said, if it were firmly fastened to a stud, I doubt a toddler or a feeble person could take it down from a wall; it is THAT tight. So remember that. I'm considering getting a mount in the fork style separately.

Two First Alert PRO5 Rechargeable Fire Extinguishers were purchased. One each for the basement and the kitchen. Only the one in the basement, which is close to the house's mechanicals, was fastened on a wooden post there. The design of the strap that is supposed to fit around the extinguisher to keep it in place is my sole criticism of the device. I have been unable to secure the strap around the extinguisher, therefore it appears to be too small. Although this appears to be a design defect, I'm not really concerned because the extinguisher is situated in a low traffic area.

We sincerely appreciate having two extinguishers on hand when our electric water heater caused a fire in our utility room six months ago; hopefully, we won't ever need to use them. We were absolutely blazing! The fire department arrived as the second extinguisher was just about to expire. We would have lost everything if it weren't for the fact that we had two children and my heroic spouse. There are now four extinguishers here. Kitchen, utility, living room with one in the back of the home and one in a basket near the fireplace. I just realized we don't have one in the garage after writing this review. I have another to order.Although the utility room was spared from fire, the entire house was still impacted by smoke, soot, and ashes. Ideally, the contractors will finish everything in a week or so.

The kitchen fire extinguisher is the subject of this review. I made this purchase solely out of a need for a portable, tiny fire extinguisher designed for usage in the kitchen. My wife is unaware of the many sorts of extinguishers' classifications and intended applications. This is something I bought and hung at the top of my basement steps, which is close to the kitchen and easily reachable if necessary. It is low-profile and small. not too hefty to move around and handle. Most importantly, it is designed specifically to put out electrical and oil/grease fires (B-C). Its pressure indication was the other crucial aspect. I was thinking using some of the aerosol extinguishers, but there is no way to tell if they are still pressurized with them. Hoping that the device will function when necessary is the last thing you want to do (over time, extinguishers may or may not lose pressure). You can periodically push the unit's approved test button to make sure it's still under pressure (it does NOT discharge any agent - it simply tests for adequate pressure). Never test an extinguisher by lightly discharging it; this will cause the nozzle seal to break and the extinguisher to gradually lose pressure. They will quickly lose their usefulness following such a test. Overall, this seems to satisfy our needs, but we hope we never have to use it.NOTICE: I paid full price for this item on Amazon, and I have no connection to the vendor. Because I read reviews before making my own purchasing decisions, I make an effort to produce evaluations that are informative, objective, and insightful. I've seen that many reviews lack useful information, are poorly written, or give negative ratings because the reviewer didn't follow the instructions, was inexperienced, or neglected to study the product specifications before making a purchase. Giving back by writing insightful reviews is beneficial.

Well, one night at 3:30 in the morning when I jerked out of sleep, I realized I needed to get a fire extinguisher for both my home and my car. It just had to happen, I guess. For the kitchen, I placed a set of them along with an ABC extinguisher. Before I completed my purchase, I made the decision that I needed to purchase a second set for my friend since, well, the two of us have been waiting a long time to light something irreparably on fire.Two weeks later, his Subaru's taillights need to be replaced because I borrowed his to get them inspected even though they weren't cracked. When I went to install them on his car, I discovered a wasps' nest had been constructed within the quarter panel. My friend decided the best way to handle this was to burn the nest using brake parts cleaning and fire, which was very effective at doing so.He put out the fire inside the quarter panel right away, then turned around and entered. Before turning around and rounding the corner, I decided to turn around and look back at the car. I noticed a growing flame emerging from behind the taillight I had just installed, which was beginning to burn away.I searched the vehicle for the extinguisher and then raced inside to get everything I could find. I came back outside and quickly doused the flame coming from the tailgate, which had grown to be five feet tall.I have to add that there is a good likelihood that his house and automobile would have burned to the ground if I hadn't had this. It's quite useful, and I'll probably continue to keep one on hand for the rest of my life.

I haven't put out a fire with this specific First Alert model. But when I needed it, a separate First Alert extinguisher that had been sitting in my car through five years of temperature extremes had performed brilliantly. I decided to buy this tiny Kitchen model as well as a 5 and a 10 pound ABC-rated First Alert for general home use based on my personal experience, the favorable ratings of First Alert, and the Consumer Reviews that pay homage to most First Alert models.I like how this design takes up less room. The amount of chemical you have in the unit does decrease, but you get the flexibility to store it in highly practical places. I think that makes sense for kitchen use. The top design is great since it provides you additional mounting options, guards against the hardware getting dirty (which can happen in a kitchen), and has a straightforward self-test feature that you can use to check the pressure occasionally.The dry chemical employed (and the ensuing BC-rating that comes with it) was another factor in my decision to utilize this particular First Alert for the kitchen. A kitchen fire can frequently be mistaken for a grease fire. I've read that the dry chemical combinations in this unit (and other BC units) are the optimum material to use with household grease fires to minimize this issue. We all know what happens when water is sprayed on grease, including the potentially fatal injuries that can result from the spatter. These dry chemicals work well to put out electrical fires as well. Grease and electrical fires appear to be the most likely scenarios for kitchens, and this First Alert is made to handle them. Overall, I thought that matched the appliance I intended to place in the kitchen the best.So this is an excellent option if you're searching for a kitchen fire extinguisher, which I think is a good idea to have in every kitchen. One of those gadgets that has the potential to save enormous sums of money and avert needless human misery, the unit has a relatively low purchase price and lasts for around five years.
The four most common types of fire extinguishers are water, foam, dry powder, and CO2. Water extinguishers are the most common and are suitable for Class A fires, which involve solid materials such as paper, wood, or textiles. Foam extinguishers are suitable for Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as petrol or paint. Dry powder extinguishers are suitable for Class C fires, which involve electrical equipment. CO2 extinguishers are suitable for Class B and C fires and are often used in kitchens as
There are five classes of fire: A, B, C, D, and K. Class A fires are the most common and are caused by combustible materials, such as paper or wood. Class B fires are caused by flammable liquids, such as gasoline or oil. Class C fires are caused by electrical equipment, such as computers or appliances. Class D fires are caused by combustible metals, such as aluminum or magnesium. Class K fires are caused by cooking oils and fats.
There are five common types of fire extinguishers: water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, and wet chemical. Each type of extinguisher is designed for a specific type of fire. Water extinguishers are for Class A fires, foam extinguishers are for Class B fires, dry powder extinguishers are for Class C fires, carbon dioxide extinguishers are for Class B and C fires, and wet chemical extinguishers are for Class A, B, and C fires.
There are seven types of fire: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class K, electrical, and chemical. Class A fires are the most common and are fueled by wood, paper, cloth, or other ordinary combustibles. Class B fires are fueled by flammable liquids and gases, such as gasoline, oil, or propane. Class C fires are electrical fires, caused by faulty wiring or other electrical equipment. Class D fires are fueled by metals, such as magnesium or sodium. Class K fires are
There are 8 types of fire. They are: 1. Class A – This is your typical fire that involves wood, paper, and other common combustibles. 2. Class B – This type of fire involves flammable liquids, such as gasoline or oil. 3. Class C – This type of fire involves electrical equipment, such as appliances or wiring. 4. Class D – This type of fire involves metals, such as magnesium or aluminum. 5. Class K – This type of fire involves cooking oils, such as those used in
Fire is a class of hot, glowing embers or burning gases that we see every day. It is used to produce light and heat, to cook our food, and to provide warmth on a cold day. Most fires occur when something combustible, like wood, paper, or gasoline, ignites and burns. The fire produces heat, light, smoke, and ash. The temperature of a fire can range from 500 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The size of the fire also affects its temperature. The class of fire is determined by the type of
