FIRE EXTINGUISHER CLASSIFICATIONS

It’s important to understand how fire extinguishers are classified in order to choose the correct model. BRK Brands, Inc. offers a wide range of residential, marine, commercial, and automotive fire extinguishers to meet the needs of your customers.

This Fire Extinguisher

LIQUIDS

Fire extinguishers with a Class B rating are effective against flammable liquid fires. These can be fires where cooking liquids, oil, gasoline, kerosene, or paint have become ignited. Two commonly used chemicals are effective in fighting these types of fires. Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the fire.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in “live” electrical equipment. Both monoammonium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate are commonly used to fight this type of fire because of their nonconductive properties.

FE5GO specifications

The First Alert FE5GO is a revolutionary fire extinguisher designed to enhance safety at home and work. Compact and easy to use, the FE5GO combines efficacy with innovative technology, aimed at providing immediate response to small fires.

One of the primary features of the FE5GO is its lightweight design. Weighing in at just 2.5 pounds, it is incredibly easy to handle, making it accessible for individuals of all ages. The ergonomic handle ensures a firm grip, reducing the risk of dropping it during high-stress situations.

The FE5GO uses a multi-purpose extinguishing agent classified as an ABC fire extinguisher. This means it can effectively tackle fires involving common combustibles such as wood and paper (Class A), flammable liquids like gasoline (Class B), and energized electrical equipment (Class C). This versatility is vital for both residential and commercial settings where different fire risks may coexist.

One of the most notable technological advancements of the First Alert FE5GO is its easy-to-read gauge that indicates whether the extinguisher is charged and ready for use. This eliminates guesswork during emergencies and ensures that users can act swiftly. In addition, the unit features a safety seal that guarantees it has not been tampered with, offering peace of mind that it is operational when needed.

The FE5GO's unique design includes a transparent nozzle, allowing users to see where they are aiming the extinguishing agent, which can significantly increase accuracy during a fire. The extinguisher applies a wide spray pattern, effectively distributing the extinguishing agent over the fire, thus maximizing its impact.

Durability is another key characteristic of the FE5GO. Constructed from high-quality materials, it is designed to withstand the rigors of storage and use. It also comes with a 5-year limited warranty, demonstrating First Alert's commitment to quality and reliability.

Incorporating this extinguisher into your fire safety plan is essential for anyone looking to enhance their preparedness for fire emergencies. With its combination of portability, versatility, and user-friendly features, the First Alert FE5GO is an excellent choice for those seeking effective fire protection solutions. Whether it is in the kitchen, garage, or workplace, this extinguisher provides the confidence to manage small fires, ensuring safety for you and your loved ones.
