before the fire was the work experience trainee? Where are the records
of that check?" "They were in the filing cabinet inside the burnt-out

It's all a load of **** these days.
The inspection would have been documented and uploaded to a secure server.
Or, placed inside a fire proof cabinet.

Assuming I have a CO2 (gas) extinguisher that I use frequently for trivial fires (and have backup for real fires), what's my best plan for buying/refilling it?

"Having fewer fires" is not a practical option.

Modify a pub CO2 cylinder to be a fire extinguisher

Possibly, for a fixed install via nozzles, but too heavy to use conveniently by hand.

I had to get one for the insures peace of mind. I asked them, they told
me a local chap who dropped a couple off when he was 'in the area' and
refilled it for bugger all when I used it to control a chimney fire (I
shouldn't say this, but the fire briugade swept the whole chimney for me
for free :-))

really they are NOT expensive.

If you find a small one man band type company to supply them

I think I got a water/Nitrogen and a powder one for less than £50

And the refill was about 15 quid for the big one


And it really worked.

They are peanuts to refill, check the local industrial estates.
It is a commodity task, but one where the overheads are small, work boring, and a reasonable earner that is not too great to attract many entrants.

Actual rating of the extinguisher can be affected by the components, eg, cheap 2kg CO2 may be circa 34B, slightly more for a Gloria frost free with 55B rating.

The new foam extinguishers are also rated for electrical fires up to many kV as I recall. Powder is good at shagging quite a few things once they are hot.

Is a Gloria a frost free freezer with a horn on?
We need to be told.
Please tell...

No, a boring big red cylinder, with protruding black frost free (double skinned) plastic horn, with higher 55B rating. Gloria C20GH for about £30+delivery on most online places. Not as high as a 5kg extinguisher, but a good bit better than most other 2kg extinguishers.

Powder is very good at creating an expensive mess to be cleaned up.

damage."
