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? |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Dec 21 2016, 10:44 AM) From my research... size ofcourse bigger better in terms of firefighting.. Thanks for your advise, didn't think about other people that will handle the fire extinguisher earlier.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..  Will get the appropriate size accordingly. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Dec 21 2016, 11:10 AM) 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. QUOTE(MeToo @ Dec 21 2016, 11:17 AM) 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... Thanks again.Place it where it can help secure your escape route form the house... And I am also thinking to get the fire extinguisher hang on wall rather than put on the floor, for easier pick up. |

Talking about smoke detector, do you came across any smoke detector that able to send alarm notification to handphone aside from having loud beep when triggered?They probably can survive if have the smoke detector. Cause when a person in sleep, hearing is more sensitive than others sense in your body. And some basic knowledge of fire escape. Maybe I should ask this in Smart Home thread. |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Feb 7 2017, 12:02 PM) I'm using First Alert smoke detectors... both PHOTOELECTRIC AND IONIZATION... bought a handfull of them during my trips to US. Much cheaper there sigh... Thanks for recommending, looking good for a dual sensing detector.Loud enuf to hear it if you are in the house... no handphone gadget though... but rest assure your neighbour will call Bomba faster then u if you are not in the house  |
