- Well, that's a different way to start an eFIXX video.
Me with the fire safety stick,
putting out a simulated fire
within electrical enclosure
but, whoop, let's just stop you there.
As always, in the event of finding a fire,
the first thing you should do is raise the alarm,
evacuate the building
and only tackle the fire if safe to do so.
And if you use the fire safety stick,
this can tackle fires class A, B, C,
electrical fires and class F as well.
What did I do to activate it?
Well, what I did was,
and it's not easy to do it accidentally
but it is easy to do it in the event of a fire.
I remove the top cap,
and you can see the point there
which I need to activate.
I remove the bottom cap,
got the activator there
and struck across the two
in order to launch the material out.
When I did that,
I needed to hold onto the handle, okay,
and point it at the base of the fire.
The material coming out of here,
which is in the description below
for those chemists who wanna work out what's inside it
is actually removing the oxygen from the fire.
Let's think about the traditional fire extinguisher
that we might be using.
One of these,
we've probably got attached to the back of our van
or maybe at home.
This is a dry-powdered fire extinguisher.
This can tackle class A, B, C and electrical fires.
However, there is required maintenance
on this type of fire extinguishers
and often needs to be refilled,
where you don't need to do that with a fire safety stick.
The fire safety stick requires no maintenance,
no service and no refills.
And also, the material when it puts out the fire
causes no residue or damage to things such as paintwork.
However, our dried-powder fire extinguisher,
it's often been said
that the damage from the powder left behind
did more damage than the fire in the first place.
Let's talk about fire extinguisher's discharge time.
This one kilogram dry-powder fire extinguisher here
will discharge all of that powder
within six or seven seconds.
The fire extinguisher we've seen me use today
has a 25 second discharge time,
so it lasts considerably longer
in order put the fire.
They do two other versions as well.
They do one at 50 seconds, ideal for cars.
Keep it in your car glove box for car fires,
as well as one that's for 100 seconds,
ideal for maybe large boats or motor homes et cetera.
So just bear that in mind.
The discharge time of our traditional fire extinguisher,
four, five, six, seven seconds.
However, we've got a minimum discharge time
to put out the fire here,
on the fire safety stick of 25 seconds.
Another point worth noting
is the dry-powder fire extinguisher here,
it's not recommended it's let off in confined spaces.
However, the fire safety stick is non-toxic,
it's environmentally-friendly
and fully recyclable.
So therefore, if you're looking
to select a fire extinguisher
for your van or toolbox,
maybe it's the fire safety stick,
the one for you.
