Portable Fire Extinguisher Purchasing Tips for Beckley Residents?

11/1/2022 (Permalink)

A person uses a portable fire extinguisher to put out an oven fire. We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Raleigh County.

Our local team in Beckley has been restoring fire damage in Raleigh County since 1999! Portable fire extinguishers can save lives and minimize fire damage when used correctly. Here are some tips for selecting a fire extinguisher for home use from the National Fire Protection Association:

  • For the home, choose a multi-purpose extinguisher (that 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 fire extinguisher instructions 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.
  • Install fire extinguishers close to an exit and keep your back to a clear exit when you use the device so you can make an easy escape if the fire cannot be controlled. If the room fills with smoke, leave immediately.
  • Know when to go. Fire extinguishers are one element of a fire response plan, but the primary element is safe escape. Every household should have ahome fire escape plan and working smoke alarms.
