Ever since my fire of 2001 I've been nervous about not having adequate fire extinguishers on board. I've recently upgraded my arsenal of extinguishers, eliminating dry power and going exclusively with foam. I will use keep the older dry power units at home and at our lake house.
The extinguisher on the left is the same make and model that I used to fight my
fire in 2001. The one on the right is part of a kit that
Mac The
Fire Guy sells on his website. I bought the bigger one at Home Depot several
years ago, however it is no longer available.
These are the extinguishers that I was keeping in my coach. The two
smaller extinguishers are of the dry powder variety. I will no longer
carry them because of the damage dry power can cause due to the corrosive nature
of the powder.
This are the the extinguishers that I purchased from Mac. The larger one
is, according to Mac's website:
"Cold Fire SuperSystem Hand Held Fire
Extinguisher
This new innovative extinguisher can be refilled by the customer (YOU), if used
just call for a refill and you are in business. This extinguisher contains UL &
ULC wetting agent, and is a good replacement for Halon.
This Fire Extinguisher is good for Class A and Class B Fires.
To extinguish a Class C fire, de-energize the fire and then this fire
extinguisher is safe to use.
It leaves no mess to clean up and is safe around animals and children."
The kit also includes:
"HAWK All Fire
The manufacturer recommends this extinguisher for all fires. It is safe around animals and children. This extinguisher is non-rechargeable."
I will keep all the extinguishers shown here in my GMC. Hopefully I
will be ready for a fire.
