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.

if you want to wait for the govt to educate then good luck. We are a 3rd world country, well being of our people is not top of the list.

We are all adults, its OUR responsibility to educate ourselves on these things. When wan buy the latest Audi vs BMW, can spend time read up on magazines, troll forums etc for info.... cannot spend some time to do the same on safety issues?

Hence I say its all about priorities, if they dont prioritise their own safety, then its their choice.

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 is very very very small... meaning if you shoot wrong area, a few sec alrdy habis....

Get one that is usable (weight wise) by most occupants of your house. No point getting a 10kg if the ladies in the house cannot use...

if thats the case , 4kg-6kg should be good enough for most ppl to use it.

my plan is like this , if there is small fire in kitchen / hall , i can 1st grab a 1kg FE to come out from my room before reaching for a bigger size FE, in case there is another fire nearby my room door.

a big one 4-6kg at the hall, 1kg FE inside room. that's my planning

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

i use this as guideline Guideline

my ultimate purpose is to be able to escape from the house soonest possible . if a 3 x 1kg FE + 6kg FE also cant extinguish the fire , it should be a very big fire , so i will just escape only....

6kg and 9kg FE is almost the same , if a 6kg FE can't do the job , so do 9kg ...
