Benefits:

The Kidde Automobile Fire Extinguisher (part # 21006223) offers fire protection to motorists.  Developed with the dependability and quality of Kidde’s other fire safety products, it contains two pounds of firefighting agent and is suitable for use on flammable liquids and energized electrical fires. With a six-year warranty, the Kidde Automobile Fire Extinguisher is a 5-B:C unit, approved by the independent testing laboratory, UL. The unit uses a non-toxic extinguishing agent, designed for easy cleanup in the vehicle, and the pressure gauge immediately tells the consumer that the extinguisher is charged and ready for use. The Kidde Automobile Fire Extinguisher is made of a lightweight aluminum and has a tough nylon valve assembly. A UL-approved retention strap bracket makes it easy to mount the unit inside the vehicle’s passenger compartment or trunk.

Fire Classifications:

When choosing a fire extinguisher, bigger is better. The higher the numbers in the UL rating, the more fire fighting power it contains and the longer it will last.  Here are the classifications of fires:

Class A: Involve common combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, trash and plastics.  They’re common in typical commercial and home settings.

Class B: Involve flammable liquids, solvents, oil, gasoline, paints, lacquers and other oil-based products.  They often spread rapidly and unless properly suppressed can re-flash.

Class C: Involve energized electrical equipment like wiring, controls, motors, machinery or appliances. They can be caused by a spark, a power surge, or a short circuit.
