2024 Annual Fire Extinguisher Inspections (In-House)

[@WitchidWitchid]

Wow, you do have a lot of extinguishers. And I thought I was bad 😅😅😅😅 . I check mine for pressure and obstruction every month. Every year I give them a detailed inspection. I have 3 class A water types. I keep those near the bedrooms and around the living rooms and in my office as in those areas the most likely fires would be in bedding, upholstery,currains, and papers or wastepaper. Kitchen, laundry room, and my electronics work room I have 5 & 10 lb ABC types. I have one water type that is about due for a hydro test. I also have an old fashioned soda-acid type but that is more for antique collection than fire suppression. Unfortunately I am going to have to move from a house to an apartment in a year so I'll probably just take a water and a dry chem with me. The others I'll give to my brother and some good friends.

Awesome video, probably one of my favorites! All the extinguishers that you have are really cool! The tags that you make for them are also really neat!

[@graysynlain5934]

Great job man I’m proud of you

[@ztobinz]

Very thorough inspections, I also keep quite a few extinguishers around my house that I bring home from my company, I always make sure to empty and recharge them because I don't trust other techs lol

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Very valid. Seeing some of the wildly incompetent comments and opinions of real techs in Facebook groups has convinced me to rely only on factory charges or myself. Most techs are great and do their jobs well, but the few bad apples are enough to cause some doubt for me.

[@ztobinz]

@@FireAlarmDude5967 For sure, what Facebook groups are you talking about? Are there ones for extinguishers?

[@a6cct]

Amazing video!

[@TFEAS-09]

I do mine every 6 months.. unfortunately, one is getting near to being replaced. One doesnt even specify the date, and the other is massive. Basically, i keeps 3 of all sizes in my room, with the added small in my kitchen. Always good to check extinguishers.

[@graysynlain5934]

When 2025 is here, are you going to make a inspection video again?

[@thoward575]

super cool video i really like this

[@Theexitisrightthere]

Nice video, what kind of brackets, extinguishers do you use in the cars and where do you mount them?

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Strap brackets

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Usually the trunk, and I recommend the biggest extinguisher you can reasonably fit

[@Firealarmcollectorperson]

Nice! Do you think you could share a blank model of your tag design?

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

I just used a standard one from google. I used picsart to make the logo, you can do really anything you want.

[@Firealarmcollectorperson]

@@FireAlarmDude5967 Thanks! I've always had trouble finding a good blank tag model. How long have you been doing this in your house? I've been doing mine since 2019.

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

@Firealarmcollectorperson I’ve been printing tags since 2020 but I used to hand draw them. I think I started 2018

[@anasqai]

If another type of fire extinguisher like adding chlorine Abit, it becomes more dizzy or not? Other than menthol about coldness. I forgot what's the idea, oh about the gas scent kind of hero to force a place clean. Rescue is still rescue anyway.

Not in a residential property

​@@FireAlarmDude5967 You should try getting a Simplex 4051

You should get a class d extinguisher they’re sick

True but class d is for combustible metals like zirconium magnesium etc and they’re very expensive they’re cool but not very practical for a residential
