☬Fire extinguisher ☬
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user, or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire brigade.
CLASSES:-
There are four classes of fire extinguishers – A, B, C and D – and each class can put out a different type of fire. Multipurpose extinguishers can be used on different types of fires and will be labeled with more than one class, like A-B, B-C or A-B-C.
Expiration:-
Even if there's no expiration date, it won't last forever. Manufacturers say most extinguishers should work for 5 to 15 years, but you might not know if you got yours three years ago or 13. ... If it falls anywhere else, the extinguisher is unreliable and should be serviced or replace.
size:-
Common fire extinguisher sizes and their approximate weight
2-A:10B:C - 4 lb. 3-A:40B:C - 5 lb. 4-A:60B:C - 10 lb. 10-A:80B:C - 20 lb.
Life span:-
10-12 year
Although they don't have a true "expiration date," traditional fire extinguishers generally have a 10-12 year life expectancy. Disposable fire extinguishers should be replaced every 12 years. Rechargeable fire extinguishers should be taken to an experienced fire equipment company and recharged every 10 years.
