The FX Fire 950g car fire extinguisher is suitable for cars as it contains 0.95kg of BC powder - for flammable liquid and gas fires. The operational trigger is compact and easy to use when needed. Although it makes a great gift for Dad's car or staff safety weeks, it is not suitable for home or caravan use as the BC Powder Fire Extinguisher will not fight wood, paper or other fire materials.
Suitable for car, motorcycle
The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers - code of practice is as follows.
5.4.3 Use of Powder Extinguishers Discharge of powder extinguishers inside buildings can cause a sudden reduction in visibility and can also impair breathing, which can temporarily jeopardize escape, rescue or other emergency measures. For this reason, powder extinguishers should not normally be specified for indoor use unless the risk is mitigated by a health and safety assessment."
If you are not sure what this means, please contact us at any time or see our fire safety review service. Extinguisher service technicians (including us) may refuse to approve a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.
Fire types include B (flammable liquids), C (gas - but never extinguish a gas fire if the gas cannot be extinguished) and safe around live electrical equipment.
