Choosing A Fire Extinguisher

A portable fire extinguisher can be used to put out small fires or contain it until the fire department arrives. To be effective, the extinguisher must be the right size for the fire at hand. It must be easily accessible and it must be fully charged. Also, the user must know how to operate it before the fire strikes. Different extinguishers put out different types of fires, so have an area of use in mind when you purchase a fire extinguisher. A rated extinguisher for wood, paper, trash, and plastic fires. B rated extinguishers for gasoline, oil, and grease fires. C rated extinguishers for electric fires. For all around protection, have a multiple purpose ABC rated fire extinguisher on every level of your house. For the kitchen, an extinguisher rate 5-B;C is best. First Alert offers fire extinguishers in color coded packaging to make choosing the right extinguisher easier. Controlling an extinguisher during a fire can be difficult, so First Alert offers a sure grip trigger that fits snugly into the hand. Other features include an easy to read pressure gage or a test button to ensure the extinguisher is fully charged.
