The FX Fire 950g car fire extinguisher is perfect for the car as it contains 0.95kg of BC powder - for flammable liquid and gas fires. The operating trigger is compact and is easy peasy to use when needed. Although it makes a great gift for dad's car or for staff safety weeks, this is not suitable for home or caravan use as BC powder fire extinguishers do not fight fires with wood, paper or material.
Suitable for car, motorbike
The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states as follows.
"5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers The discharge of a powder extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardize escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment."
If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.
