Exactly one year ago, my Christmas shopping was completed -
- in one stop - I gave out the gifts with the wish -
- that they would never be used !
... fire extinguishers !
My three kids homes, my own home, niece & nephew,
brothers, in-laws ... etc.
Volume discount at the local Fire & Safety company brought the price
down to reasonable - much cheaper than WalMart & other retailers.

Very good, sir. And my respect.

About a year ago summer, I did test two twenty year old
Kidde chemical units which I took out of a couple old
trailers. Entirely to my surprise, both operated.

Shake well before using, the powder tends to clump and
harden.


I asked a Fire Captain about house extinguishers. He stated as long
as the needle was in the green, they are still good.
