A = paper, wood, cloth, etc
B = oil, grease, etc
C = electrical

The number before an "A" is equal to 1.25 gallons of water. So a 4A extinguisher is as effective as 5 gallons of water.

The number before a "B" and/or "C" is equal to square foot of coverage. So a 5BC extinguisher provides 5sqft of coverage.

For the home, ABC is best, but if I had to choose only two classes for home use it would be an AB extinguisher. C fires cause A fires.

Also, I really recommend going with a larger size. You'd be shocked how quickly these tiny extinguishers run out of agent.

This is a BC rated extinguisher, that means it's good for liquid fire and charged electrical equipment. You'll want an ABC extinguisher for general purposes. Class A is normal combustible stuff like trash can fire, wood, couch, paper and cloth. Therefore you want the A, B, and C protection. ABC is easy to find, maybe not as cheap but get the one that'll work
·
Sadly, cheaper than refilling.

How should one properly dispose of a fire extinguisher?

I saw some were asking about this in a car. My preferred extinguisher in the car is an element: https://elementfire.com . Doesn't have a risk of puncture, leaking, expiration, etc. Approved for some classes of racing.

I've used it twice to help others and it works really well for smallish to medium types of fire (eg early stage). As with any fire once it gets to a certain size, it is up to the pros.

Li-ion is a B fire but I would evacuate home & run, call Fire Dept. A lithium fire blanket would buy time, not this.
If your EV catches fire, get as far away as you can. Lithium fires are nasty… very hot, explosions, and toxic fumes. You might need a class D extinguisher with a lithium fire. I saw a stack of small lithium batteries go off, I can't imagine an EV battery.

Quote from charredangel :
Consider a blanket as well for kitchen fires, especially if your stove is on an island or otherwise doesn't have a wall at its back. A fire extinguisher can blow burning oil everywhere. Still should have the extinguisher but for a simple burning pan of oil, a blanket can be safer. I bought one after seeing a video of an extinguisher used on a stovetop fire.
Indeed.
Also mount fire extinguisher and fire blanket away from any likely source of fire. Seen too many fire extinguishers under the sink (and often pushed back), delaying access. Plus, if you sink is next to the burning stove, you might not be able to run to towards the sink to get the fire extinguisher. Mount it at an entrance to the kitchen. Also consider one per floor, especially above ground level.
And while we're at it, replace the batteries in your smoke / CO detectors. Better yet, get a 10 year lithium battery (I wouldn't worry about those lithium batteries burning... if they do, it's likely after they did their job--hopefully.)

Quote from kevin.fernandez83 :
After discharging all of the chemical/pressure from the extinguisher, every one I have ever had, I was able to unscrew the top fairly easily. I made a compressed air canister out of one and added a Schrader valve so I could fill it. Works fine still for going on 10 years. I made sure to spray paint it green so that someone doesn't get it mixed up with an actual fire extinguisher.
Never thought of that. Have one that I partially used that is expired, going to give this a shot. Thanks!

I can't vouch for it as I only buy A B C FIRE EXTINGUISHERS in various sizes. My smallest is a 5 lb. that I can't find the designation.
You NEED to consider what type and size of fire that you may need it for. The distance the fire department has to travel to you, etc.
If you have a medium to large fire, you should consider a larger extinguisher as you seriously want to put it out or minimize it.
It's like car insurance or homeowners' insurance and renters ' insurance... You may NEVER need it but when and if you do, what's the value including sentimental of what you're trying to protect.
If you have multiple rooms, consider that also.

If you don't have a couple of these in your house, this is a great opportunity. I had to use one a couple months ago, so thankful I had them!!!!

Wrong kind for majority of household fires.

Be wary of walmart.com, I placed an order for a number of these and they claimed delivery, even provided a photo of the delivery location, which is nowhere where I live. My address is correct, however so I contact customer support. They made it hard - first to contact them, then initially claimed in support since this was my "first order" I had to go to a store to get a refund... In the end the relented, but so much more difficult to work with, and less reliable than Amazon.com. Walmart hasn't figured this out, at all.

The proper way is to show your kids how to use a fire extinguisher. They get a kick out of it. The bottle can then go in your steel recycling.

Quote from GannMan :
I want to point out that the extinguisher that is twice the size is $22 no discount so to think this half size one is $13 seems like it's not a slick deal but a normal price. Also I would get one with an ABC rating because this won't put out any normal fires only electrical and liquid
It's close. Net Agent weight is 2.9 lbs. vs. 2 lbs. and the total unit weight (larger container and all) is 3.9 lbs. vs 3.2 lbs. Per pound, the smaller unit is only 12% cheaper.

Quote from madcow3417 :
I recently had a small brush fire next to my garage. Some kids were playing with a lighter or something. I went through all 5 fire extinguishers (and several buckets of water). The only fire extinguisher that completely failed was the one that was not expired. Save your old unused ones. Also, these things only last a few seconds. You probably need more extinguishers than you think.
i really want to know if a water hose would have helped....

It would have, but my 50' hose wasn't long enough to reach and it was rolled up and locked in a shed at the time. Now that you mention it I think I need to buy a longer hose or an extension. That could have saved me a lot of work.
