Maybe it is not they have a zero awareness,  more like zero money to really care about it?

Zero money?

If you say people no money is bullshit.

But the fire safety device here are expensive. Gov should subsidy to reduce the price.

Gov did engage some NGO or fire safety co; to give talk to organiser, company etc. Each talk, they will claim to the gov.

Anyway the fire safety device cost is coming down compare last time. But still not as cheap as many country.

Go cheap and get more. Most of the time it is sitting there only.

Get the smoke detector that can link to your house alarm.

Its a choice.... should you spend 2k on a Re-union dinner....

Or spend 1000 and use the other 1000 for a few fire extinguishers.

We live with choices everyday, and sometimes we have to bear the heavy burden of our choices..

This is the kind of person who can give a stupid unlogic reason in exchange for not to have a safety device in the house.

The news of house fired and death is not real for them.

Educate people, dont simply said typical Malaysian because somebody didn't understand the risks.
Wanna race who can don fireman suit in under 3minutes? Including SCBA tested and ready to fight fire?

Contribute your knowledge here and explain to people.

Hence the awareness.

I went to the Kota Kemuning location, seems to their HQ and factory.

Yes... buy 1 set also layan, but the 2kg seems to be low/out of stock when i was there.

Just give them a call to double check.

Prefer 2kg. Easy for girl.

Speaking of 2kg... I'm leery of using the ABC in kitchen.... the clean up would be crazy..

Anyone else uses Wet Chemical for the mainly class F kitchen fire?
*
99.999% won't be using. Don't wish to use.

So whatever type is ok for me as long as the price is affordable.

But the fire already cause the mess. Doesn't matter with that additional powder to clean up.

sorry to bring up old thread.

recently i m planning for my house fire safety equipment.

initially bought 1kg FE for my 1200sf apartment.

then realise not really sufficient based on fire rating calculation which i need at least 8-10A. a 1kg FE only 5A .

So i placed another order for 6kg which is 27A  ... which is kind of bulky also.

for the 6kg FE, i can also move to my new double storey house ....

so now should i just put 2 x 1kg FE in my 1200 sf , and move the 6kg to my double storey ?
my new plan is to put 1kg FE inside each room .. got only 3 rooms ....
*
1kg mean for the car. Not for home.

At least 2kg for each room. And a 9kg for near the kitchen.

even for a condo with 1200sf ?

ordered a 9kg FE initially , but i cancelled due to the weight is too heavy to handle by lady in case there is fire.

so i opt for 6kg instead... price wise is almost the same .

2kg of FE in each room is fine , it is not that heavy ...
*
Why you use the sf as a guideline? Is that less sf equal to burn lesser? Doesn't make sense to me.

2kg is about the right weight for a lady. But 2kg doesn't last long also if fire is big. That's is why I put each room 2kg. If she prefer use all the 2kg.

9kg is for the kitchen since it is a fire hazard place. The house not just a lady's stay. And I believe when a panic situation, 20kg is also not a problem.

I have 2kg in each room. Additional 9kg in the master bedroom and storeroom near the kitchen. And 3kg CO2 additional in the working room.

I have some fire hazard liquid and my explosion hobby. sweat.gif
