Simple fire extinguishers for home use, simple 1211 fire extinguishers, and simple dry powder fire extinguishers can put out the LPG stove and cylinder on the corner valve, or gas stove and other places of the initial fire, but also to put out the hot pot fire and waste paper basket and other solid combustible materials burning fire. The simple air foam fire extinguisher is suitable for putting out incipient fires caused by frying pans, kerosene stoves, oil lamps, candles, etc. It can also put out fires caused by burning solid combustibles.

How to use the simple fire extinguisher

Simple fire extinguishers are portable and cart type. In the use of a portable simple fire extinguisher, you need to put down the fire extinguisher about 5 meters from the burning place, first pull out the safety pin, one hand holding the opening handle, the other hand holding the nozzle in the front of the spray hose. If the fire extinguisher does not have a jet hose, you can hold the opening pressure handle with one hand and hold the bottom ring part of the fire extinguisher with the other hand. First, the nozzle to the burning place, hold the opening pressure to make the fire extinguisher spray. When the combustible liquid is put out flowing combustion, the user should be aimed at the root of the flame from near and far and left and right sweeping, fast forward until the flame is all extinguished. If the combustible liquid burning in the container, should be aimed at the flame left and right swaying sweep, when the flame is driven out of the container, the jet stream followed the flame sweep until the flame is fully extinguished. However, care should be taken not to spray the jet stream directly on the surface of the burning liquid to prevent the impulse of the extinguishing agent will be flushed out of the container of combustible liquids and expanding the fire, causing difficulties in extinguishing the fire. If fighting the initial fire of combustible solids, the jet stream will be aimed at the most intense burning spray, when the flame is extinguished, should take timely measures to prevent its rekindling. 1211 fire extinguisher cannot be used upside down, nor horizontal, otherwise the extinguishing agent will not be sprayed. In addition, when used outdoors, one should choose to spray in the upwind direction; in a narrow indoor fire, the operator should quickly evacuate after extinguishing the fire, because the 1211 extinguishing agent also has a certain degree of toxicity, to prevent harm to humans.

Push the simple fire extinguisher and portable 1211 fire extinguisher use the same way. When the fire is generally operated by two people, first push or pull the fire extinguisher to the fire, stop at about 10 meters from the burning place, one person quickly releases the spray hose, hold the gun tightly, aimed at the burning place; the other is quickly open the extinguisher valve.
