What about a fire extinguisher?

How to use most fire extinguishers: 1. Pull the pen, 2. Direct the fire from a distance of about 2 meters to the base of the fire, 3. Spray it, 4. Sweep from side to side.
If a fire extinguisher is Type A only, it most likely contains water. This type can by no means be used for flammable liquids such as kitchen grease. doing so would be dangerous. It also can not be used in electrical fires, eg. For example, when a device or computer equipment catches fire also dangerous. The type A fire extinguishers are hard to find and not the best choice anyway. common are fire extinguishers intended for A, B and C or only for B and C. The ABC fire extinguishers contain monoammonium phosphate, a yellow powder that leaves sticky residues that can damage electrical equipment like computers. This fire extinguisher is the best choice if you want a fire extinguisher for all three types. The BC fire extinguisher isn't suited for paper or wood fires. it's only suited for electric or fat fires. The BC types contain sodium bicarbonate or possibly potassium bicarbonate , and this chemical is somewhat less problematic than ammonium phosphate, but it still needs to be cleaned after use. I opted for a BC fire extinguisher for my home office in case electrical or computer equipment catches fire. If needed, it may also be used in a close kitchen. Fire extinguishers contain a numerical identification with the letter designation. A common small ABC fire extinguisher has the following ratings: 1A10BC or 2A10BC. The 1st number mentions the size of the other extinguisher. The two indicates a five pound fire extinguisher, A one could be a 2.5 pound fire extinguisher, which mentions the estimated weight of the content, i. H. On the chemical that extinguishes the fire. The second number indicates the area the extinguisher extinguishes: ten means about ten square feet 3.1 feet by 3.1 feet , and in addition, every house extinguisher has only seconds of spraying time. So you may be able to fight a small fire only with a fire extinguisher internally size. Small home fire extinguishers now cost about 20 to 30 US dollars. you may want to favor one with metal nozzle and valve, as they are more dependable than one with plastic. I chose a first alert model intended for B and C types of 2.5 lb fires.
