Fire Gone 2NBFG2704 White/Red Fire Suppressant Canisters - 16 Ounce, (Pack of 2 Units)

Before putting these in vehicles, taking them camping, using in house and gifting them...I tested them. They are easy to use! I have tested 5 over the course of 4 years, the first 3 tested were used after sitting in vehicles during winter and than summer months in Arizona. Yes, we get below freezing, not often but a few times. We also get over 115 degrees F during summer months- 46 C for the rest of the world. None of the tested canisters failed to discharge or failed their job. These are extremes, when I test it is too destruction, I want to see the failure limits. The other 2 tested were allowed to expire. One by 2 years and the last by 1 year. Both still functioned. The 2 year one had also had a rotation in vehicle through summer heat during camping trips. I used them to put out campfires, they worked!, Fire gone! What these are- positives 1. Easy to use 2. Small fires of all types can be extinguished. 3. Perfect for vehicles, each of ours gets one! 4. Perfect for camping, we bring two! 5. Each room of our house has one! 6. Gifting, other people I care about get these as gifts Cons- 1. No way to know if it will work, no gauges. Pure faith, though I did test thoroughly- I suggest buying two to have a spare. 2. Small. Not for fires that are more than a campfire, small engine, small boat or small kitchen type fire. Absolutely these are worth every penny spent, I will continue to buy more. ** when storing in vehicle, use a small igloo type container - this will provide some insulation and help them stay within expected factory specified ranges for stability. I use inexpensive Walmart igloos for car kit including. Oils, fluids, these and more Peace of mind at last!

I just purchased these but after reading some reviews I am not sure it was best idea. But people breaking handle is cause their panicking, at work we have training if how to use fire extingisher. You have to train you should know how to use extinguisher before you have to use it! Not learn when you need it. You might have to sacrifice one to train yourself. The key to using and emergency product well is to train and learn how to use before an emergency. Pro tip 101 always aim any fire extingisher at base of flames in a sweeping motion from side to side!! DO NOT JUST AIM AT FIRE AND SHOOT ALWAYS THE BASE OF FLAMES SWEEPING FROM SIDE TO SIDE!!!!! Also for those who have fires on BBQ or Fire in pot/pan on stove the simplest way to put out fire is to take away oxygen and turn off ignition source that would be gas to BBQ and put lid down fire will go out dont check leave lid down and turn off gas. If fire on stove turn off burner and put the proper fitting lid on pot/pan if possible move pot/pan to cold burner or an open stove top that is cooler. As long as you take away the ignition and the oxygen the fire will go out!!! I can't emphasize enough how important it is to train and learn the proper techniques of using fire extingisher also there are different types of fire extingisher for different fires you want to be able to identify that the fire extingisher you have is correct. Most common works for all fires A, B, and C but if you are somewhere else they still have water or liquid filled ones you wouldn't want to use one of those on a gasoline, or grease fire. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN LEARN LEARN LEARN PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE Its not just your life you might have to save! They have free classes just have to take a hour or so to go to one. Trust me I have used my training multiple times. The last time I gave CPR to a guy who was hit in head with jet ski he didn't make it and I knew it was bad and it was probably pointless but I tried and I was thanked and people were grateful and proud I worked on him for over 30 min! But we did save a child me and my lifeguard co-workers he got life flighted after he drowned but made a full recovery and it felt good his parents thanked us a thousand times!! Be safe and prepared you just never know!!

But...it arrived on time in good condition. Simple instructions to operate and since I hope to never have to use it, I can't really say how well it works. It does seem to be a better way to go for small emergencies that might occur in any room without causing damage to whatever you need to spray it on. I like the idea of just having to wipe it off after use without needing to resort to anything besides a wet towel, and not having to worry about which kind of fire might be happening, just use it on anything, is a plus in my book. Having two in a pack for the price is really a no-brainer for purchasing these. I can just grab one up from the kitchen counter and take it outside to the grill or to the garage just in case of a small emergency...not something you are likely to do with the larger tank types that end up fastened to the the wall somewhere or placed in a cabinet out of sight. Also the right size to toss in the glove box of the car too! I'm sure if I ever have to use it and it works as described I'd be giving it a plus 10 on the rating scale!

Thanks.

We almost had a bad fire because my wife was trying to put a pan fire out with water and towels. She said she was intimidated by the normal fire extinguisher we have since it's big and would make a huge mess. So she was trying to get it out without that. Well that's certainly not good if someone is afraid to use a fire extinguisher. Rather than hope there isn't a next time where that might happen, I bought these. I showed her some videos of people using them (thanks other reviewer) and she said these are small and she doesn't feel held back to use them. Almost like using a can of compressed air. I never thought about someone avoiding to use a fire extinguisher because of the mess but I guess it sort of makes sense. So these seem like a very good investment to have just in case of a small fire or flare up that you may not want to waste and entire extinguisher on. I haven't used one yet but it gives good peace of mind.

We own(ed) six of these, and we've used three. First use - grill caught fire. Grabbed one of these from the kitchen and the fire was out, no problem. We had to replace a fitting on the grill, but that was what caused the fire, not because of the extinguisher. Second use - making hush puppies outside and we had a grease accident. With this on hand, we didn't even have a problem. First flare up - with 5 gallons of grease at nearly 400F - and this extinguisher had the fire out fast. Third use - toaster oven caught fire in the kitchen. This was an indoor fire, beneath the cabinets, and that's scary. You have to act fast to prevent something like this spreading. Once again, the Fire Gone knocked it out in one blast. These are small - about 1lb of stuff inside - but for small fires I've never had better. Buy several for every room. We keep two in the kitchen, one in the basement, and one in the garage. We've larger units (Kiddie ABC stuff in the 5-10lb range) around the house, but this is the first grab every time. There's NO mess to clean up (wipe with paper towel and you're done) and they're disposable. Put the fire out, wipe up with a paper towel, and get back to cooking/camping. At this price point, it's too good to be true. We still have three around and will buy more.

Was going to buy a traditional fire extinguisher but worried that my young kids wouldn't know how to operate. Saw this well rated on Amazon so decided to get a few cans. Have not used but figure it should work. Great that it's easy to use (though have not tried it), small so easy to store and relatively a great value. Gives fire protection without having to install a wall holder, find the space and worry kids won't know how to pull pin and use when necessary

I first remember this type of extinguisher coming out many years ago and they worked, but, for some reason, they disappeared from the market. However, now they're back. Of course, they are a bit more delicate than the heavy Kidde models - but they work and at a fraction of the price of a Kidde - and, let's face it, either Fire Extinguisher should/must be replaced ever 5 years or so and I prefer to keep one in each room. Now, on the comments of receiving damaged units: I believe this to no longer to be true. The twin pack comes packed in individual boxes which are packed in another box, and shipped in still another box. Further, there is a heavy cardboard collar around the plastic trigger assembly preventing anything from touching it. It would take major damage for shipping damage to the trigger assembly. But, admittedly, once unpacked, you could drop one and damage the assembly - but, again, they cost a fraction of the old heavy extinguishers - so that's your trade-off; just keep them from falling and you're OK. All-in-all, I think they are a good deal for kitchen, garage, shop, car, truck, boat, camping trailers, RV's, etc. - as they are economical enough to afford to put them many places. I recommend the twin pack. I bought 5
