One tip I picked up is to give powder extinguishers a good shake from time to time to prevent the powder from settling and solidifying.

Perhaps that is why some take site speed humps at some velocity - servicing their fire extinguishers.

I have mine serviced every year by the guy that comes to service the extinguishers at work. We were very lucky a good few years ago when the wife set fire to the grill in a big way, no extinguisher on board. Had to borrow one from the chap on the next door pitch. Thankfully the only remaining evidence was a burn mark under the worktop above the grill, could've been much worse. Lesson learnt, never leave home without one now.

Write your comments here... It will not work pn an electrical fire and many others. To be absolutely safe you need the extinguisher and a fire blanket for cooking fires.
What do fires cooked in blankets taste like?

I have run boats for 30 odd years and the requirements are quite strict up to 23ftin length Min of 2 rated at 5A/34B plus a fire blanket near the cooker. I have seen the results of not looking after extinguishers. Boats have various points to exit the interior
most vans have one. Is a few quid saved worth a live.0 -
Thanks to this thread I have remembered to shake mine when I washed the van today. Regards, Roy
