I went thru your website, I dont see any fire extinguisher.

for home usage .. you cab use Dry Powder type or CO2

For ABC Dry Powder .. suitable for Solid , Liquid , Gas fire ..
For CO2 .. can also but effective if its indoor ..

Powder .. you have about 22 seconds usage
CO2 ... about 10 seconds usage

remember CO2 can kill human ya ... if trapped and engulfed with CO2

Go to balai bomba .. ask them to teach you how to use ..

if you in Kuala Terengganu.. come ..I'll teach u for free

Sorry for resurrect old topic, but I do think this is important.

Is there a guideline on what is the size of fire extinguisher to get for our house? Or it just depends on your storage space?

From my research... size ofcourse bigger better in terms of firefighting..

But... at the end of the day you have to a one that is suitable to your household...

If u have old ppl, or girls etc.. then u get a big one they cannot handle its pointless... make sure u get that they can handle efficiently...

For me its a tool to ESCAPE and PROTECT our life and limb... not to save the house.. its insured..

Thanks for your advise, didn't think about other people that will handle the fire extinguisher earlier.
Will get the appropriate size accordingly.

I think 2kg will be idea.

Not so expensive

Not heavy for girl

Can keep more than 1. Rather buy 1 big and expensive.

Makesure get the wan that have gauge to check and refuel.

Where u put it also important... have to be strategic spot.... dont put it where fire is likely to start... if its burning there u cant get to it...

Place it where it can help secure your escape route form the house...

Thanks again.
And I am also thinking to get the fire extinguisher hang on wall rather than put on the floor, for easier pick up.

Thats going to be really really ugly bro,,,

Ya. it is ugly.

You can hang in the store room.

For others place, put in the cupboard.

Buy this one, cantik enough to hang as part of your decor

Wow, nice.

But that price is killing me rather the fire.

It nice to put in the public place or restaurant and shop.

You just remind me to order some of this Fire extinguisher. Always forget to buy.

Buy normal one and ownself draw. Maybe can make a sticker like for phones then sell

Seen it but lazy drive there buy.

Was hoping bump into them in those home Dec .... maybe can get some discount too hehe

where did you saw them?

General info ..

Carbon based fire (wood, timber furniture) - Use water base, foam or dry powder FE

Oil based fire (kitchen, petroleum chemical station) - Use Foam or dry powder FE

Electrical based fire (metal, live electricity) - Use dry powder or Gas discharge (C02, FM3000, Halon) FE

Note * discharge gasses (CO2. FM3000, Halon) all heavier than air thus don't hide in a hole when you use it.. You will suffocate..

Get some training to use the FE and there is an expiry date for dry powder FE (it hardens with age and cannot flow out) so there is a periodic maintenance cost..

Technically the location of FE's are always at the exit routes, never in a storage room..

You grab the FE fight out of a fire NOT risk running into a room (where you might be trapped) getting a FE..

The objective is to save lives and property.. Lives always comes first..

Cheapest I can find for 2kg dry powder.

Buy, buy, buy.

You should get one of those latest Aerosol Fire Extinguisher from China.

Light weight, efficient and last long.

The "China" word already make me feel unsafe.

Aerosol doesn't last long in storage and have an expired date. Which is very short. And it is not cheap.

This kind of aerosol don't have the gauge to tell me what are the pressure inside.

So the "Light weight, efficient and last long." is questionable.

I will buy the cheap wan put it in my car.
