The problem with your test is it was outdoors. If you really want to test then you need to be indoors. Maybe build a mock room in the dome.
When you threw the vase it bounced out and kept pouring. The balls powder was airborne. If that were indoors the powder would continue to starve the fire and the base would have stayed within the fire soaking it down.
I’d like to see you test in a mock hallway. See if you can make it passable.
Test in a corner location too. Like a candle caught curtains in a room and it’s grown larger.
The powder would be horrible in very small rooms, also because I smothers the fire by killing air. That also means it's also suffocating anything alive in it
Yeah the test was not done properly and was done in the wrong environment. would like the hallway idea.
@@rivitraven things don't typically live long while on fire
@@rivitraven why do you think that makes it worse than a regular fire extinguisher, they do the same thing?
What if the fire is outside? I would like to think that my fire extinguisher I was relying on to save my life would work outside as well
"This is an A-B-C fire extinguisher, it's not gonna be for liquid fires..."
A is for flammable solids
B is for flammable liquids
C is for electrical fires
When you de-energize a Class C you end up with a Class A
she's probably thinking of F fires. b is more like a spill, where F is like a half pot of grease
A B C and D are classes of fire. A: cloth, wood, and like items. B: liquid fires, grease oil, and gas. C: electrical fires like your fuse box. D: metal fires, the most dangerous fire type my opinion, magnesium is a self oxidizing fire meaning it will burn even when completely submerged in water. also as it's burning it burns so hot when you spay it with water it can spilt the h2 from the o1 and cause an explosion.
you should go to the dome and make a super hot fire and put the entire extinguisher into it and let it explode and see how well taht does
^ this. Class B literally specifies liquid fuel source fires.
The scariest fires are metal ones. Like lithium will literally be ignited by water and start burning
@@nobodynowhere8061 that's true lithium with do that
BIG-E's Playhouse clap clap clap I needed to know that also I don’t understand half those words but it helped more then what my mom told me
"It's for class ABC fires... it's not for liquid fires" Class B is flammable liquids.
exactly. They used the wrong environment.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Worked on them for 15 years.
A flammable solids, eg wood paper. Water works
B flammable liquids, eg oils, greases. Smother
C electrical fires. Turn off electrical source
D metal fires gtfo
Sean Rea lol forgetting class K my guy haha
@@jodysexauer9444 same, im currently in the navy and alot of what we do is firefighting. I chuckled a bit when she said class ABC.
'A' is for wood, trash or paper
'B' for liquids
'C' for electrical
An ABC extinguisher would be for all three and the number ahead of the class letter is for how large a fire they are rated.
TKOR, you have a large enough audience that I think you have a moral duty to provide accurate information when it comes to such topics.
Thank you kind soul
As a damage controlman(navy) that was irking me to no end. Thank you!
@@shiyotso1 What percentage seafaring-folk are firefighters?
@@matthewellisor5835 pretty much anyone that walks on the ship. When you join the navy, one of the essential classes you go to is firefighting. Because you are on a ship and isolated on a giant metal boat in the middle of the water, there's no fire department to help you out, so every enlisted sailor has to be trained in shipboard firefighting.
They say that soldiers are all infantry first, and their specific MOS second. In the Navy, all sailors are damage control first, and their specific rate second. I was a nuclear machinists mate. My General Quarters station (my "battle station" to civilians) was an AFFF station. I ran one of the stations that made firefighting foam.
The AFC fireball looks like a bowling ball for a dwarf.
Or a "candlepins" ball. Look it up.
I got called a SMALL dwarf
Nobody likes me
Oddly specific but Ok
100th like!
The bombs were flawed, they are supposed to be used indoors without the wind, they should've tried it in the dome.
Edit: Grammar and spelling
this yes its suposed for a confined space
But is it okay to breathe in??
@@sanjit_a probably not but neither is smoke, you know from a fire
@@sanjit_a yeah they usually make fire extinguishers breathable 😂
I agree with that
"Yes, kind, that's why" was a perfect line
The ball is not meant to be thrown in just anything. It works quite bad as you can see but it has been designed for things like dumpster fires where the fire is contained in a small area so the powder can choke the fire.
Exactly!.
Bingo.
Just like the vase one would work much better in a hallway. You'd throw it and it would cover the floor/walls which would be much more effective than throwing it at a fire pit. Especially an open fire pit
"Ment"?
@@DaveTexas Yeah you know. The past tense of mean??
Brink Shows the past tense of "mean" is "meant." "Ment" isn’t a word. Anyone who has finished the fourth grade knows this. At least you know enough to be able to edit a comment, so I guess you’ve mastered kindergarten-level knowledge. Next, you need to work on adverbs, because you don’t have the first clue what they are. I bet you can’t even identify the incorrect adjective used instead of an adverb in your original comment.
Seeing Calli holding a fire extinguisher is like seeing a vampire holding a crucifix.
Yep
Now I just need to set off a fire in my house and use these
*_Arsonist_*
*Kiara has entered the chat*
*your house has left the chat*
Like that meme with that girl who burned her house
Burn a neighbor's house down the road.
Y'all need to learn PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep. Aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the fire and sweep.
maybe it's better to use the ball in an inclosed space less wind and the dust will be in a more concentrated area... but I can see why that would be hard to test out.
You are right they are primarily used to extinguish dumpster fires
That's what I was thinking. In an enclosed space, it wouldn't fly everywhere and would mean there's less oxygen in the room too
They were literally standing in front of a big enclosed space that they’ve set fires in before.
@@educatedsloth Toss one into the US presidential debate offices then
Yeah, that's my take on it. In a room that cloud of suppressant would help more, but outside it's all blowing away before it affects anything.
Cali: How much fire am I allowed in one video?
Nate: So long as we have a way to put it out, as much as we can safely control.
Fire: Control me will you?! HA!!
Lol!
That must be mirror universe Calli. She was trying to put out a fire... :D
Instead of playing with it 🤣
@@gunna2cool yeah, that's the joke..
Lol
@@yaboidustin2447 😆
Yes
2:00 Wait do they seriously not know the classifications of fires? B class fires are the gasoline type of fires. So that fire ball would be fore that. If they do not know this information i hope they take a proper fire course after this especially since they like to play with a lot of fire.
"What did we do to this fire?"
"It's just hot"
No way who would've guessed
YOURE HERE TOO
Just saw u and Justin y in a daily dose of internet video, Justin is also in this comment section. I’m now convinced you two are the same person
Hahahaha
They used the Fire extinguisher the wrong way. You dont spray "all" in once, you make bursts on the bottom of the fire.
I’m just wondering about your notifications if you’re everywhere like guessing on how many videos I’ve seen you on it’s like a notification a minute
I keep seeing you everywhere
WHY
I'd like to see if you could effectively DIY the Fire extinguishing balls. Get some of the ABC dry refill powder, fireworks / firecrackers, and some containers. Then see if you can make it more / less effective than the retail version.
"It's just peeing out water. Ooh two streams. That's tricky."
You just need a night of debauchery the night before, then getting 2 streams in the morning is almost normal...
@alien dingus so true
@@aliendingus1991 the tricky part is aiming the 2 streams xd
@@wethinkis Oops... You weren't gonna use that towel anyway, right...?
Underrated comment
The fire extinguisher was used in correctly. The fire extinguisher should be aimed at base of the fire not on top of the fire.
Also, controlled bursts, not a solid stream.
You only have so much pressure and media to work with, so blowing your load all at once is wasteful and ineffective.
Blast the base, evaluate what's still on fire, blast again, repeat.
it’s also where the most heat is. Aiming at the base where it puts it out faster.
@@nijamkaj Lighter fluid.
Agree, powder cant work if it is directed in fire from above with small stream like they did in video. I tried extinguish controlled diesel fire (during training) with 5 kg (10 lb) extinguisher, I managed put out maybe 50% of fire and my mistake was same as seen in video powder simply bounces in the air and wont work. Little later trainer used smaller (maybe similar size like seen on video) extinguisher and managed put fire out. He used maybe half of powder and I used all available powder ... around fire were all white but fire still blooms.
The extinguisher ball is meant to be used indoors without wind to disperse the powder. You also had a fire pit with stacked layers of hot coals. Fire extinguishers are meant to extinguish "young" fires before they've had a chance to establish a coal base. This was a bad test guys.
I agree completely
I’m kind of disappointed
I was going to comment that
Dont say it was a bad test, They were testing outside since its more safer than indoor
I was about to comment that lol
Ditto. Same. Agreed. Not used as intended.

and even more when she says "yup"🤣
The AFO ball is designed to suffocate the fire in an enclosed space, not outside where there is plenty of oxygen.
I think the purpose of the vase extinguisher is that because of the way they look, they can be placed all over and within easy reach, where with a "normal" extinguisher will almost always be in a cupboard under a sink somewhere and perhaps not as readily available.
6:00 saw these guys in background chillin'
The stalkers of the dome eat the souls of those unworthy
????
Could you revisit this in the dome? You have a ton of airflow outside, so it's easy for the fire to reignite. In the dome, you could replicate something more similar to the conditions of a fire in someone's home.
Imagine having a house fire and you end up throwing a bowling ball looking object to completely smother the inferno
Justin Y. XD
wasn't first but hello justin
LOL
sup guy
I really wanna bash ur nico nico kneecaps
So the afc ball things. I feel like if they were set off in an enclosed space like a bedroom or laundry room. It would work allot better. All the fire suppressant wouldn't just fly away.
Edit: every one said this.
"yes, kind, that's why" he says with a dead soul behind his eyes LMAO
Callie: I'm a pyro
Also Callie: I don't like big explosions
Unfortunately I think that the wind was bringing in excess oxygen and fighting against you I think in a slightly different environment I think they would all have better effects
What would said oxygen be in excess to?
As well as the gas fire relighting the wood.
I agree with you. That firepit looked like it had a fire/air funnel. So, it could get air in through the base where if it were in a house, all it has, is what is available in the open.
@spoonicuss I'm just being pedantic; it's not important to almost everybody, so I don't really know what I was hoping to achieve by pointing it out, but "excess" would normally be referring to that which is not included as part of the sum of what's required, or having a use. "Excess" oxygen would be oxygen which was remaining; the unused, or not required; the leftover, or the amount remaining once the total had been subtracted the required/used amount. There are other ways I could describe the definition, but I've covered most common contexts. I'm only wondering if I missed something and you pointed out something which could be relevant to the video for me to understand it better, but can come across somewhat arrogant, or condescending, when asking for clarification, etc. There really isn't an absolute necessity to be entirely strict with apt definitions if the sentence makes perfect sense for pretty much everybody that understands the context, but I pointed out, or questioned, the use of another word that somebody used seemingly incorrectly and it led me to understanding the comment fully - it wasn't clear from the initial format, but I'm glad I asked for clarification because it wasn't just me which understood it as it was written literally. Sorry if I've complicated something unnecessarily, but my annoying approach does sometimes produce positively constructive results. Granted, I'm learning that this isn't the majority of cases, but I do sometimes achieve more than just irritation!
The firevase looks like a health bonus from _Doom._
Alot of fires in houses can also take place on flat floors and walls, the exploding one and vase may have alot more effect on flat surfaces and walls than a fire pit, aswell as are they designed for outdoor use?
I agree. I was thinking the same, they weren't designed to put out a fire pit. I was thinking more about floor fire
People who have absolutely no idea how to fight fires, showing people how to fight fires. Priceless!
Class A is for trash, wood, and paper. Class B is for liquids and gases. Class C is for energized electrical sources
pure water - no chemicals. No brainer here.....you've rediscovered ancient wisdom. Excellent affirmation video!

Cali and mate are the OG'S of the king of random dont bring another crowd to replace yous !
Were you not here when the actual king of random was around lol
I would expect a regular water-filled fire extinguisher would be more effective than powder in such a situation, and these should all be more effective in an indoor emvironment than outside.
ABC extinguishers (which are the most common in use in houses and other buildings) are a dry chemical agent (ammonium phosphate). Most fire departments have a water extinguisher (usually 2.5 gal) which is normally referred to as a “can” or a “water can”, but the common fire extinguishers that are rated ABC are going to be dry chemical
Plain water extinguishers will exacerbate class B fires.
The flammable oils will simply float on top of the water and continue to reignite and burn while being splashed around.
If you want a water-based extinguisher that works well on class B fires, use AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam).
Water is a big No-No for class C fires, as it conducts electricity.
There's a reason why ABC extinguishers use dry chemical agent.
About the only thing that water can be used on is a class A fire like what they had in the video.
Wandering Calamity that is correct, but once the electricity is cut to a class C fire, it becomes a class A and you can use a water extinguisher on it
@@wanderingcalamity360 It's worse than that. If you use water on burning oil, the water sinks to the bottom, boils and releases steam explosively. Water on oil fires is deadly.
However, water would have been the best solution to the wood fire we see in this video.
The ABO fireballs might be designed for enclosed areas. You might get better results if the wind was not blowing the powder away. You could build a plywood lean-to at the edge of and down wind of the fire pit. Or you could ask about using a firefighter training area for indoor tests.
I'm actually kinda intrigued by a comment about the fire vase, Callie says that a use for it is to pour on a blanket so you can wrap it around yourself when getting out, and with how it reacted in the fire pit I kinda wanna see how it would react poured on a blanket then run through a fire, and the evaporation rate of it on the fabric compared to plain water
That would be cool. Using real fire would be incredibly dangerous, but they could test the wet blankets in like a room with heaters or maybe a sauna. That could represent the heat from a fire in a controlled way.
@@rdp16rulez They should use real fire, just don't have a person under the blanket. They could roll a chair or a dummy on a skateboard through with the blanket.
"PLEASE! SOMEONE"
*Explosive fire extinguisher goes off*
"im going to die..."
I've heard of fire glass before. I might try making one but filling it with baking soda and a vial of vinegar in the center. When it breaks it should create Co2 and suffocate the flame.
I think you will have a much better result by using liquid instead of baking soda as well as some way to break the vial inside before throwing it. Two liquids (even as simple as vinegar and baking soda/water mix) will mix together much better that liquid and powder. Breaking the vial and shaking the ball will allow said liquids to at least somewhat mix instead of just relying on splashing. On top of that, the reaction itself would create some pressure so when the ball activates it's more of a fizzy burst instead of a splash followed by fizzle.
Of course at that point using glass is a bad idea due to shards, but you might get away with other materials. For example a ziploc bag fill of vinegar inside of a (preferably heat sealed, or at least zipped and taped) bag of baking soda-water mix. To activate, squeeze the bags until the ziploc inside opens, then shake and toss. Having the outer bag taped as well as zipped should allow for more pressure to build up instead of the seal just cracking open. Ideally you'd use movie style breakaway 'glass' for the outside container, but then i don't know how the inside bag/container could get opened.
@@AgentWest Hey Agent West, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I think your right; it might have trouble fully mixing in the flame AND the vial inside might not break. I could connect two glass containers side-by-side so they they both make contact with the ground and smash at the same time. I'm not too worried about glass debris myself as I'm a lampworker, but for others I agree a non-glass container would be better. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

I learned in an OSHA class that there are classes you can take on how to use fire extinguishers, and that if you use them incorrectly (read "without reading instructions or having experience), you can use them up with little to no effect.
I suggest a video where you have a firefighter come on and explain the right way to use fire extinguishers and compare it to how you'd use it without training. It'd make a great PSA.
You guys were outside testing these which is understandable but, in a real fire indoors there is no wind or draft necessarily adding oxygen to the fire allowing the powder from that ball disperse into the air. In my opinion, they might work better in a contained fire indoors where there isnt any wind.
Most stuff does work better if used properly.....
I think you should test all of those again, but in a room of some sorts. You could probably use some piled up dried dirt bricks to make a makeshift box which to cover with some metal roofing materials to simulate a small room, like those coffin-rooms or pod-apartments which pod-hotels and east-asian countries offer in theri biggest cities.
This girl put out way more than all fire extinguishers!
I do wonder if all of these would have a different reaction when it's inside somewhere without wind and such displaying the powder and such, aswell as on a flat surface where the fire is mostly on top of it rather then a bunch of random wood with all kinds of little hidey holes for the fire, perhaps in that dome of yours with perhaps some pieces of wood nailed together for a better comparison test?
One suggestion I have for a future video is comparing different surfactents vs plain water for extinguishing class A and C fire. Just be careful with the perflourocarbons 😁
roll the AFO in the base of a fire in the dome and see what happens!
4:37 (Read through the Ball)
*WOW KOOL*
Does open fires (like shown) vs something on a flat surface react differently to the products/methods shown?
You hit the nail on the head. The effectiveness of any fire extinguisher is directly related to the extinguishing surface area agent vs the burning surface area. The fire they had going looked small, but it had a LOT of surface area. This is also why we use fog nozzles for firefighting. Simple bulk water works very well too, as we saw with the water bottle. For more information, look up the fire tetrahedron.
Calli just put out fire! This is not normal🙃
i would be curious to see the exploding ball in an enclosed space where the powder doesn't have the opportunity to just float away
There were a few videos that used the ball in a box, and it actually did quite well. Of course, not 100% effective, the fire actually recovered, but it did do better in an enclosed space.
Nobody likes me
@@i6h565 i can tell
In the fire service we sometimes take a dry chemical and spray with a fog pattern to help break down the surface tension. Or use dawn dish washing liquid to put out a fire a form of foam. It works
Absolutely none of these extinguishers are designed to be used outside.... You where right beside the dome, why didnt you use it?
Try out the mini firefighter, it's a small can of spray foam that puts out a lot of different kinds of fires
Should be easy to get I know that vat19 sells it and they do videos sometimes
I'm curious how it will compare to other options for putting out fires
Like the "camping thing" where you
Take dirt mix a little water in a bucket for throwing on the campfire to put it out in a hurry

A class B fire is a liquid fire. Class "ABC" is a combination of three classes: A is combustible solids, B is flammable liquid, C is electrical fires.
I declare a mistrial. This demands a recount.
Re-compare these options in an enclosed space. Prefferably in a cheap, makeshift "bulding" type structure (just a room or hallway, as long as it has a roof and walls) inside the dome (to prevent high airflow blowing material away.)
Minimum, just do it in the dome.
4:38: wow kool 👀 on here shirt
Never seen Cali so disappointed that fire was still lit
I would have also liked to see the vases and ball compared to a box of baking soda as well as the water bottle.
The shirt that callie was wearing is just great
Look mom no hands lol
Hey TKOR, I had an idea:
Wax + liquid oxygen. Maybe try making an exploding candle?
would the wax be able to burn at such low temperatures?
@@internetguy692 No, but yes. If you already had it burning when you introduced the liquid oxygen it would work. Or if you were to inject liquid oxygen into a cooling candle that you had just made from melted wax. I figured they would find some crazy way of doing it.
Lmao imagine being a fire trying to burn someones house down and all you hear is “KOBE!!” and that’s that, youre done.
This is coming out during Fire Prevention Week. Nice ;)

Yeah trusting Cali to put OUT a fire is not something I would do. Set everything on fire? She’d be the first person I go to.
Nothing beats the traditional fire extinguisher.
Glass globe extinguisher known as "Fire Grenades" were popular in workplaces and the home in the 19th century.
Thank you for uploading ur videos only when I am about to sleep😭😂😂
Something i found out in my youth is that the co2 cartridges for pellet guns that you can buy at Walmart work very well as pressurized fire extinguishers but do have the risk of shrapnel
Firevase - afff foam and water
Afo fire ball - mono ammonium phosphate,
Powder fire extinguisher contains both mono ammonium phosphate and often an silicone type oil to help it cling to surfaces and keep the fire suppressed,
Another effective extinguisher would be a standard afff foam extinguisher for that type of fire
Great job guys wonderful experiment

We had a demo at work where the fireball extinguised a big fire in a 55gal drum. It is more designed for enclosed areas than an open fire pit. The areas that were suggested to fit these balls were engine compartments of big trucks or excavators as well as inside the cabs. Reasoning that should you experience an engine fire, the ball would explose and minimise the damage. If you search fireball extinguisher on the tube, you will notice that all the demos happened in an enclosed space. IMO, this is only a first line of defense product. It will buy you some time and keep a fire small while you go get a traditional extinguisher or gtfo.
As a fun homemade fire extinguisher, try using full soda cans. Typically sprite or other known very carbonated beverages explode the best.
we may go vroom to get to the zoom but these ppl going boom
For both I think it would work better in a bigger fire, because it’s meant to spread. Most of the chemicals don’t get used. It just flies off
So there are specialized types of fire extinguishers. Type a are usually water based (and sometimes have soap mixed in) and used for easily flammable solids. B fire extinguishers are usually a powder or a soap like substance base that's meant to smother the flame. And c class are usually powder based and used for electrical fires. It's usually recommended that you use a specialized extinguisher for c class fires mostly because the general purpose extinguishers foam stuff is corrosive and can ruin metals
Try and use the thermite mixed in with the afo ball and see if it will light and also attempt to put out a small amount of thermite with afo and would it work on something like a "burning Christmas tree"
