Extinguishers

The 9 kg dry powder.

The extinguisher we fit most in Kano. It handles paper, wood, cloth, fuel, gas and electrical fires, so one unit covers most rooms in a home, shop or office.

Where it goes

Placing it right.

  1. By the exit, not deep inside

    So you grab it on the way out, and never have to pass the fire to reach it.

  2. At hand height

    The handle about one metre from the floor, on its bracket.

  3. One per floor at least

    More in larger floors: one every 200 square metres is a good rule.

  4. Not by the cooker

    Powder makes a mess of a kitchen. Put a blanket by the cooker and this by the door.

How to use it

Four moves.

  1. Pullthe pin, breaking the seal.
  2. Aimthe hose at the base of the fire, not the flames.
  3. Squeezethe handle firmly.
  4. Sweepside to side until it is out, then back away.

Questions

Before you buy.

How do I know it still works?

Check the gauge: the needle must be in the green. We service and refill every 12 months for an example ₦9,000.

Is the powder harmful?

It is not toxic, but it irritates eyes and lungs and makes a mess. Ventilate and clean up after use.

Can I use it on a car fire?

Yes, on the outside of the engine bay. Do not open the bonnet wide; aim through the gap.

Do you buy back old units?

We take old extinguishers for safe disposal when we fit new ones.
