Fire extinguisher: time for the generation of decorators

A fire extinguisher has always been a useful object in red and only serves to extinguish fire. Currently, this device is very much in vogue as a decorative object. Many people buy it just for fun. SAFE-T, a company specialized in the design of this equipment, currently offers decorated models, for the pleasure of the eyes.

An ornament that adapts to any style of furnishing

For those who have a refined living room design, there is a black model fire extinguisher with an apple falling into the water pattern. This model is called APPLE and is ideal, especially if your furniture and/or walls have a touch of black and green. Instead of hanging it on the walls, as is often the case, you can place it on a piece of furniture to add a little pep.

But remember the practicality of the bottle. It should not be too far away from the probable sources of fire. And if you decide to put it on a piece of furniture, check that it is not too heavy. In addition, the information on the label should be studied carefully. Even for decorative purposes, you may one day have to use it, and the powder inside should correspond to the needs of the moment.

Fire extinguishers classified by category

Three classes dominate the current market. It is well known that the amount of water and effort required to extinguish a burning tree is not the same as to extinguish a burning bed. With this in mind, manufacturers have created powders that are effective on such material.

• Class A fire extinguishers are suitable for dry fires (small scale).
• Class B fire extinguishers, suitable for grease, oil or fuel fires.
• Class C fire extinguishers, for electrical fires.

Since all three cases have the same probability of occurrence, the designers decided to combine all three in one bottle. TheABC powder extinguisher can extinguish any type of fire. However, the powder it is made of can eat away at anything it touches.

Key places to install a fire extinguisher

This device must be installed in an accessible and clearly visible location. Even the most meticulous of designers knows that a fire extinguisher must be able to be picked up safely and quickly in the event of a fire. The ideal places to put a fire extinguisher are as follows:

• Rooms at risk such as the kitchen, near the fireplace, in a DIY workshop and in a garage
• On the walls, near the exits
• Up high, where they're out of reach for children.

In spite of this imposing character, you can choose colours that match the decoration of the room where it will be. Several home fire extinguisher designs are available for you to choose from. Moreover, you can choose to put one on each floor, or even in each room if you feel like it. Collect the models you like and decorate your home as you please. Not only will it give you pleasure, but it will also make your home safer from flames.
