Q. What type of fire extinguisher should I use at home?

A. Our recommendation is to get an 4KG Multipurpose dry chemical powder fire extinguisher. Most users also purchase a 2KG Multipurpose dry chemical powder fire extinguisher due to it's compact size. 


Why a 4KG? 

1. A 4KG extinguisher comes fitted with a hose for you to direct the extinguishing agent so you can aim properly. 

2. A 4KG extinguisher can discharge twice the amount of powder in the same time as a 2KG. That's twice as effective. 

3. The reach of a 4KG is longer at 3.5M while the 2KG's reach is 3M.
