The following acronyms can help to remember fire classes. A = Ashes. B = Barrel. C = Circuits. D = Dynamite. K = Kitchen. With that said, an ABC extinguisher of the largest size you can comfortably handle is a good idea for most general home, office and business use. If you have a workshop and are drilling or machining magnesium, aluminum, titanium and similar combustible metals, a class D extinguisher in addition to an ABC type is strongly recommended. Class D fires burn much hotter than most fires, and throwing water or an ABC extinguisher can cause the fire to grow larger and have explosive reactions. If you plan on doing a lot of deep fat frying at home, a class K extinguisher would be a smart investment, and is required for restaurants, cafès and similar commercial kitchens.

Not too many place to recharge fire extinguishers anymore and a lot of fire departments seem to be getting out of it from what i heard. For me it's easier just to junk the used or old one and buy a new one instead of recharging. It also makes sense because it costs the same amount to get it recharged by a professional service or just buy the new one also faster then trying to spend a day getting fire extinguishers recharged.

I work for a Fire department in Louisiana and would like to use this video for training purposes. Is there any way you could send me the file so that I do not have to have access to the internet.

1:49 I notice a red zip tie, when you pull the pin and twist it, does the zip tie also snap automatically? Usually i need a plier to snap that thing.

I’ve considered mounting a fire extinguisher in my vehicle but have seen videos on them exploding. What is the real story on mounting one in a car and is there a danger on a hot summer day with the windows rolled up?

My small 1 time use home fire extinguisher says I must mount in on the wall, yet I noticed near the end of this video none of the extinguishers were mounted on a wall, they were just on a desk or patio. Does anyone know if I must wall mount my fire extinguisher or is it ok to not do that?
