Knowing how to start a fire is a great survival skill, but the ability to put one out can save your life!<\/p>\n<p>When selecting a fire extinguisher it&#8217;s important to choose the proper one for your situation. Fire extinguishers are divided into four categories, which are based on the type of fire. They also have a numerical rating which tells you what the extinguisher can handle. A higher number means more power to extinguish the fire.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>It is Extremely Important to use the right type of extinguisher. Using the wrong one for the wrong type of fire can be Extremely Dangerous.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fire Extinguisher Guide <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Class A Extinguishers<\/strong> used to put out fires caused by ordinary materials such as paper, wood, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these extinguishers tells you the amount of water it holds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Class B<\/strong> <strong>Extinguishers<\/strong> are used on gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil fires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Class C Extinguishers <\/strong>are for electrical fires. You should never use water to extinguish class C fires because of the risk of electrical shock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Class D Extinguishers<\/strong> are for chemical fires and are not commonly useful for household needs. They are most often used to out fires that involve combustible metals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fire Extinguishers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001ECQ5MA?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=offgridsurvival-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001ECQ5MA\">Kidde 466180 Pro Fire Extinguisher Carbon Dioxide<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=offgridsurvival-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001ECQ5MA\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"> For Class B&amp;C Fires<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00002ND64\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=offgridsurvival-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=B00002ND64\">Kidde FA110 Multi Purpose Fire Extinguisher 1A10BC<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=offgridsurvival-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00002ND64&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000IHUR58?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=offgridsurvival-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000IHUR58\">Kidde FX10K Kitchen Fire Extinguisher, 82CI<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=offgridsurvival-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000IHUR58\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"> For Class B&amp;C, This one is great to have in every room of your house and your vehicle!
