Message:		From the Power Wagon Advertiser Forums site - Fire extinguisers: For those who don't know: A: wood, paper, textiles, structures etc. B: Electrical C: Propane, petroleum, solvents, oil, gasoline K: Grease as in restaurant or kitchen D: Specialty metals extinguishers, with sub-classifications for particular metals: magnesium, phosphorous etc. A/B/C are used for combinations of combustibles or general purpose in structures and around the home. As a combo they lack the punch to put out a major petroleum or electrical fire unless they're large enough. B/C are suitable for vehicles or shops where you have machinery. I carry these in all my vehicles as most automotive related fires are grease/oil/petro or electrical in nature. D are selected according to materials present and are especially suited to welding operations, in combination with B/C units. A local fire department or fire protection seller can advise. 5 lbs is the absolute minimum size to carry, and this only gives you a few seconds of fire fighting capability. 10 lbs is my personal suggestion for minimum protection in vehicle or shop, with #20's more strongly suggested in shops or vehicles where you want foolproof protection. Shame to flinch on paying $20-$50 extra to protect $1,000's of dollars worth of equipment, as you might regret your penny-pinching later. The good old fashioned water cylinders that are pressurized with air are handy outdoors or even in the shop when welding [along with A/B/C or B/C as appropriate]. If you have a compressor you can use the water filled to quench hot metals or whatever around the shop and then it's easy to recharge with more water & air. Just be sure and keep the water and pressure up to standards as you work! Check all extinguishers often to make sure they are charged and ready to go. Many people are afraid to have the fire department come through and inspect their premises. Many people watch as the whole place goes up in flames, or don't live to tell about it. The fire department's mission is to save lives, structures, and educate the public on unseen hazards. Help them do their job of protecting you!!! Have your shop inspected and follow advice given. Finally, don't be stupid on your electrical around the shop! Frayed cords, under-sized cords, discount store multiple plugs can all add up to money saved and a major di$a$ter. Keep paint and solvents in a metal containment also. This message brought to you by a concerned gearhead. :~ )
