Great job. I am a volunteer firefighter and have carried a water can in my personal vehicle for the past few years. I have used it several dozen times. I recently bought two more so I now carry three because I am in a rural area and an engine can be a long time coming. I have completely extinguished several smaller fires and canceled the engine or brush truck. I saw someone mentioned dish soap and that is a great idea. I personally add Firebull to mine and with a high enough mixture rate (around 6-8%) I have used it to extinguish tire and gasoline fires. Keep up your passion young man.

Thanks. Water cans are fantastic. I have two water cans in my collection now, and I also have a water mist extinguisher and a foam extinguisher now. I’d take a water can over an ABC for a solid fire any day!

Excellent video. Back in the early 1970s when I graduated from high school I worked for a company that sold and serviced fire extinguishers of all types. Around that time many of the older type "soda acid" extinguishers were being decommissioned and much of the work I did was removing the old soda-acid extinguishers from buildings and replacing them with these pressurized water types

@@Fredengle no I've only used water and air. The tank part of the extinguisher is very durable but the intake tube(especially since some of these extinguishers have the hard plastic intake tube compared to some that have more of a flexible rubber-like tube) and innards of the nozzle not as durable. I wouldn't send anything besides water through it.

this is pretty funny how you have a fire supression and detection theme going on with your channel. really cute actually. i found a huge old fire alarm bell at the scrap yard a while back, and plan to restore it and hang it on the door to my workshop. Now anyway, i have one of these water fire extinguishers that i strapped a bicycle pump to. works really great for portable pressurized water for cleaning things or keeping dust down! oh and yeah... they also work great for spraying a ring of water around a camp fire.

Very well said and how I was taught in fire fighter academy. A class is any fire that leaves a ash . Wood, paper for example. I put some dish soap in case there is and petroleum in the fire. Not for B fires which are petroleum fires . Only use a A B C rated extinguisher.

Yep. That makes these one of the few kinds of oils you can charge up at home.I have a couple of these at home. One time I used one to rinse road salt residue off the car in winter as it was impractical to hook up a hose in freezing weather. Then I just refilled it and charged it up myself. If I had to get it professionally charged for a fee rest assured I wouldn't have used it for rinsing the car.

@@FireAlarmDude5967 I understand that part. I'm not complaining about the lack of weight. I'm complaining the price is the exact same as an extinguisher that comes with 20 pounds of ABC. With the A411 you're paying for the extinguisher and the chemical, so that price is understandable. With the 240 you're just paying for the stainless steel extinguisher. Little details like that are annoying when you're on a limited budget and looking to get the most bang out of every buck you can.
