Tips for Choosing a Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are great to use when a fire breaks out in a small, contained area. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) encourages their use after everyone has left the building and the fire department has been called, and the room is not filled with smoke!
SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores responds to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Warren and the surrounding areas and offer some tips for choosing a fire extinguisher from the NFPA:
- For the home, select a multi-purpose extinguisher (can be used on all types of home fires) that is large enough to put out a small fire, but not so heavy as to be difficult to handle.
- Choose a fire extinguisher that carries the label of an independent testing laboratory.
- Read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher and become familiar with its parts and operation before a fire breaks out. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors often offer hands-on fire extinguisher training.
