As an ex-chef I'd recommend simply a lid or damp (but not dripping) wooden chopping board for putting out fatty fires, remain calm too as a pan of oil will burn for hours without exploding on it's own, it's only when people knock it over or chuck water on that things quickly get out of control ;o)
We have an old CO2 one in the kitchen dates 1993. I just gave it a quick test and seems to be in working order. A good thing to have in the house, for sure. Luckily we've never needed to use it.
You do realize that partial discharge of a fire extinguisher renders it out of service, and will lose its pressure, meaning it won't work when you need it to? You don't test extinguishers my trying then out. That voids them. You check by looking at the gauge to see if the pressure is in range, and if it's a co2 extinguisher or clean agent, it's done by weight. I sure hope you never need to use it because it will not work if you have partially discharged it.
about the CO2 ones, the main reason why it should be used putting out electrical fires is not because it wont damage the electronics its because it won't short circuit the live wires present in it. thats why putting it out with water is often a death sentence to some people.
Hi, whilst powder extinguisher is multi purpose. Some extinguishers are more specific for kitchens. See this video ruclips.net/video/20z67t0RtY0/видео.html
I'm a big proponent of Amerex and Ansul fire extinguishers above all others. But I'll admit the UK extinguishers have a certain aesthetic appeal to them.
Hi there - I am Offshore Aviation Advisor for the Oil and Gas Industry. Thought Process Aviation Services has been contracted to develop a Safety Awareness Video for new individuals joining the Oil and Gas Industry. Will it be possible to use some of the EKT Interactive videos in this Training Program? Thank you for considering this request (full recognition will be provided)
No such thing as vaporising foam, green fire extinguishers (Halon) had to be replaced by 2003, but most stopped back in the last century Chubb stopped in 1990
A dry chemical version will be safe for A,B,C,D and electrical fire but it's a quite rare powder extinguisher so best to install m28 and a powder if you can't find a dry chemical extinguisher after all they aren't easy to find
this is why you will never find an extinguisher rated for combustible metals being rated for other types of fires its because of the way the agent works!!
Unfortunately we didn't choose to cover Water Mist Fire Extinguishers at the time, but they're included in the Fire Extinguisher Guide on our website: www.fireandsafetycentre.co.uk/advice-centre/fire-extinguisher-chart/
What you don’t say is that the British Standards Institute has not recommended dry powder inside buildings since 2012 without a specific risk assessment due the potential loss of vision, potential breathing difficulties and the collateral damage that it causes to everything in the area of discharge. I still see these extinguishers installed in buildings by fire extinguisher companies that have no idea.
Hi Phillip, many thanks for watching our video and pointing out this additional information. This video is intended to be a general overview of the extinguisher types and the types of fires that they can tackle, but on each of our dry powder fire extinguisher product pages we aim to cover the point you have made, for example please see here www.fireandsafetycentre.co.uk/Products/1460/6kg_Dry_Powder_Fire_Extinguisher.html. Thanks once again, your comments and interaction with our video are much appreciated and will be of much use to our subscribers.
Remember when you discharge a carbon dioxide extinguisher don't hold the horn. You will get a horrible cold burn and you will know about it. My friend learned this the hard way.
"You can stop a fire in a room by sucking all the air out of a room!" "A technology can be is built into a room or a building like an emergency vacuum system , in case of fire, that can suck all the air out of a room ( example the room where there is fire). By sucking all the air out of a room you have gotten rid of the air in the room and therefore the fire disappears. " "This technology also requires that all people and all living organisms exit/leave the room so that room can be closed shut when fire starts in the room.: When the room is closed shut it is air tight (example: door and other things like windows close and form an air tight seal so that no air can get out of room). Once the air tight doors and windows close the special ventilation holes in floor of room (example similar to ventilation holes in the floor) turn on and suck all the air out of the room very quickly." "Example: "If all the air is sucked out of the room that is burning in 1 minute...then the fire stops after 1 minute." "If all the air is sucked out the room that is burning in 30 seconds...then the fire stops after 30 seconds." "Remember the Fire Triangle:" "To have fire you need these 3 things/ingredients:" "Source of heat (example spark like in a gas oven where a spark ignites fire in oven)" = " the thing that starts the fire" "Material that burns (example paper)" "Air ( example oxygen)"...= "the thing that keeps the fire to contiue burning" "Fire depends on oxygen to keep going >,..So by getting rid of the air in a room the fire will disappear" "The fire in the room disappears because you have removed oxygen from the room. Oxygen is one of the key ingredients why a fire keeps on burning...So if you remove or get rid of oxygen in room by sucking all the air out of the room you remove/get rid of the fire."
I never understand why ppl say Co2 won't damage on electrical fires. The fire has already damaged it. So chose the type of extinguisher that's the most effective in putting it out lol
Too be honest i think 5he layman would be a bit confused about which one to use on what fires as they all seem to double up on what they can be used for!
Hi David, we'd like to think our Extinguisher Chart compliments our videos, making it very clear which types of fire each kind of fire extinguisher is suitable for. You can visit it here: www.fireandsafetycentre.co.uk/advice-centre/fire-extinguisher-chart/
It would be more usefull to people to see a chart that advises which colour extinguisher is good for which fire.This video is more confusing than anything else.
for water on liquid fuel it can explode in a large fireball. the other cases mostly just might not work well or may leave damage to the surface while putting out the fire
I think technically its better to say some agent will reduce property damage but may not eliminate things like halon may actually possibly not damage property but its a synthetic gas or similar I would not recommend such an agent as unless you are abosolutely certain and I mean absolutely certain which condtions it can be use it could be incredibly dangerous I think is use could possibly be dangerous in a confined space or under certain condtions as I said I would not recommned its use unless you are abosolutely certain of what you are doing I would not be suprised if it could be be dangerous if you made a mistake I would rather probably inhale dry chem than be in a room with halon I am not sure what effect halon would have on your health if a mistake was made yeah I know halon is banned but there are I think replacement gasses I would still be hesitant to have that in my home unless I was absolutely certain it would not casue me problems and I cant be sure it wouldnt as I do not understand enough about what these clean type agents can and cant do I think if I had to have gaseous agent I would use co2 but powder is more effective than co2 as I said I am not certain that you could not have problems if you made a mistake with gaseoues agent. I am sure it the direct question was asked is it healthy to inhale a synthetic gas the answer would be no. I would rather take chance of inhalation of dry chemical agent.

Fire blanket if you have one
One of the shortest and best explanations I have seen so far 👏🏽
Excellent information and presentation in the use of fire extinguishers
Very relaxing voice that makes me understand so fast. Thank's !
Its very informatory & useful for common people who does not know about types of fire ext and where should be used. Very nice efforts.
Fire extenguisher
This is very useful especially when dealing with Dangerous Goods per IMDG
Learned something - I never thought that the Carbon Dioxide was cold! Thanks guys! (and gals!)
Thanks for very useful information! I've use it for safety training I'll perform for my personnel.
Hi Luke, see our video that focuses specifically on Co2 Extinguishers - Applications and Advantages of CO2 Fire Extinguishers
Great video thanks. Only vaporising foam green one and you got it all covered
Good explanation. kudos to you guys
very good information about the colour for identification, thanks
Good explanation... THIS Should help me with my Cscs test :) THANKS
I'm here revising for my CSCS tomorrow too!
Beautifully present thanks for upload
its great experience because i learn how we can refill abc type fire extinguishers and co2.
good information thanks
this very useful for everybody
We have an old CO2 one in the kitchen dates 1993. I just gave it a quick test and seems to be in working order.
A good thing to have in the house, for sure.
Luckily we've never needed to use it.

Excelent presentation and fire safety video...
This is my favorite safety out fit
Big help. Thank You for this helpful video.
U really teach alot
Thanks,very usefull video and helps to give my lesson on types of fire extinguishers

good presentation!
If you would to get it in each house of USA is perfect for everyone! Thanks!

Can you use Powder Canisters for Home use I.e. Kitchen?
Hi, whilst powder extinguisher is multi purpose. Some extinguishers are more specific for kitchens. See this video ruclips.net/video/20z67t0RtY0/видео.html
thanks
great vedio thaks

very nice
which ones to buy. so many choices.
I'm a big proponent of Amerex and Ansul fire extinguishers above all others. But I'll admit the UK extinguishers have a certain aesthetic appeal to them.
Thanks a lot

Thank mam
how about those white boat fire extinguishers?
why would anyone thumb this down?
Maybe because it doesn't tell you which one to use on a Cat D fire....flammable metals.?
A dry chemical version will be safe for A,B,C,D and electrical fire but it's a quite rare powder extinguisher so best to install m28 and a powder if you can't find a dry chemical extinguisher after all they aren't easy to find
dry chemical cannot be used on combustible metals a combusitble metal extinguihser contains dry powder
this is why you will never find an extinguisher rated for combustible metals being rated for other types of fires its because of the way the agent works!!
What about the one with the white identification label?
Unfortunately we didn't choose to cover Water Mist Fire Extinguishers at the time, but they're included in the Fire Extinguisher Guide on our website: www.fireandsafetycentre.co.uk/advice-centre/fire-extinguisher-chart/

@@FireandSafetyCentre its funny how none of you can provide straight answers....what fire extinguishers can be used on a gas oven
one thing, i can understand all of the fire extinguisher types but in the UK fire classes are different than the USA
If the Foam type is water based how come we can use it on oil? I mean if you mix hot oil and water is a disaster

That is not a good idea. If any of these doors fail then its lot more fire and casualaties.

It would be more usefull to people to see a chart that advises which colour extinguisher is good for which fire.This video is more confusing than anything else.
co2 is good
so yes the co2 gas will avoid damage to computers but its burnt by the fire
if i see a fire, i grab the nearest fire extinguisher and let rip and IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT IF IT MAKES THE FIRE WORSE..... hear me now
That'd cool! If you have inquiry of fire extinguisher, welcome to contact me
You forgot about halotron and halon.
