Unexpected Spots to Place a Portable Fire Extinguisher

 

If Fire fighting is an art, then placement of fire extinguishers is another level of art form. Generally, fire Safety products are categorized under many categories but cannot be used unless their effectiveness is under control.

Don't forget the Car

Cautious today makes you a safer tomorrow. A personal car is something that elevates safe travel. The presence of a fire extinguisher in your vehicle can help prevent a small fire from becoming unmanageable. Ensure that the fire extinguisher is rated for Class B and Class C fires by the NFPA while placing it strapped down in the trunk of your vehicle when not in use. A Car Fire Extinguisher will help you prevent a fire hazard even before the fire engines arrive. Ideally, an ABC dry powder type fire extinguisher weighing up to 2kgs is best suited for small cars.

Fire Extinguisher in your Bedroom

At the dead of nights, most of the fires break out from the bedrooms. Mostly, fire disasters break out at night, giving lesser time of protection.

Therefore, placing a fire extinguisher in bedroom and even in your children’s room can help you and your family. Even if every room or your children’s room do not have fire extinguishers, ensure clear exit passages. Never keep the machine in a cluttered zone, ensuring easy access to it in tiring times.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2)

For places with a lot of electrical equipment such as offices or server rooms, CO2 extinguishers are a good option since they can handle fires involving electricity. Unlike foam extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers don't leave behind any residue. They clean up really well indeed!

Fire Extinguisher in Outdoor locations

In outdoor settings involving chemicals, fuels or vehicles as well as a lot of space, powder fire extinguishers are recommended. The boilers can be used in large commercial boiler rooms, large workshops and storage facilities containing flammable liquids.
