Reviews Around the fire extinguisher

If you have experienced a fire or the circle of having someone who reported it, you might think about that a fire extinguisher to buy.

• But which fire extinguisher is now the right ?

• What to look for when buying?

is important, you can not engage in dubious doorstep selling.

1. Use only approved fire extinguisher to EN 3
2. For home use, I suggest you so called "froth extinguishers for Class A and B (what the individual fire classes erkläre ich Ihnen weiter unten). Aber auch Pulverlöscher sind Grundsätzlich geeignet. Nachteilig ist, dass sich Pulver weiträumig verteilt und - im vergleich zu Schaum - zu deutlich höheren Verschmutzungen führt.
3. Feuerlöscher sollten nicht zu schwer sein. Ein 12 Kg Löscher ist für den Handgebrauch zu schwer.
4. Es gibt Dauerdrucklöscher (günstig in der Anschaffung, teuer in der Wartung) und Feuerlöscher mit innen oder außen liegender Treibmittelflasche (Anschaffung etwas teurer, Wartung dafür preiswerter).

 Die verschiedenen Brandklassen

je nachdem was brennt, gibt es verschiedene effective extinguishing agents

• water
• foam
• powder
• carbon dioxide
• special extinguishing agents

extinguishers are therefore assigned with respect to their field of application the respective fire classes and with the pictograms and the marked letters A, B, C, D and F .

an overview of the range for the Fire Extinguisher is different in the following table:

FIRE PROTECTION - WHAT DO I STILL TAKE?

first GREASE FIRES

grease fires with water, never delete, otherwise, a fire suddenly increase to a multiple of (fat explosion)!

grease fires can be most effectively combated with newly available on the market "grease fire extinguishers.

2 . Eating a fire

A Essendsbrand in a cooking pot can often be stifled by a lid and cleared by accommodation of the heat.

third Fire blankets

are fire blankets - contrary to earlier opinions - for grease fires or less suitable. Fire blankets are but excellent way to delete or clothing caught fire in small fires.

4th Smoke detectors

this please read my blog "smoke what a nonsense"

(of course, no nonsense, but really would have thought that almost anyone, because most have no Smoke detectors installed)

5th Electrical systems

fires in electrical equipment must not be extinguished with water.

6th Leaking gas lines

happen if not already, fire call and warn neighbors. Delete
yourself you should not, because of the risk of a gas explosion.

7th Maintenance and testing

fire extinguishers must be checked usually every 2 years. is
Since January 2008, in Germany for operators of fire extinguishers required, pursuant to the Ordinance on Industrial Safety of a to be verified by TRBS 1203 / 2 trained competent person .
