Fire Extinguishers

A fire extinguisher is a must have in every home, workspace and storage area. This device can make the difference between saving lives and property or losing them. Extinguishing a fire as it starts makes all the difference. One of the most popular products among the fire extinguishers here is an 18-oz. spray can of foam fire suppressant. This fire suppressant fights 4 classes of fire including A, B, C and K. This foam expands to 30 times its size to fight oil, alcohol, electrical and hydrocarbon fires. Designed for use in your home, car, RV or boat, or anywhere else you need it, this fire suppressant is non-irritating and biodegradable.

Another best-selling fire extinguisher here that fights A, B + C type fires is a 5-lb. unit with a mounting strap. If you’re looking for a single-use fire extinguisher, there’s an A, B + C type unit here for that, too.

Many home and business owners find that keeping a few different fire extinguishers, with different purposes and capacities, is a good idea. If different types of materials prevail in different spaces, keeping various fire extinguishers on hand is a good idea. For example, a class A extinguisher should be available for ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth and more. A type B extinguisher that fights fires involving grease, gasoline, solving, lacquers, alcohols, oils and similar substances should be positioned in a garage, and a class C extinguisher should be kept around electrical equipment. A class D fire extinguisher should be available around combustible metals, and a class K fire extinguisher should be available in a kitchen to fight fires that could arise from cooking oil. If you decide on one or more extinguishers that work on several types of fires, that might be your best solution.
