I am the "painfully stressed cop" in the "you can't believe this guy glasses". Not an excuse, but I found out 15 minutes before this demonstration that we had to go do this demonstration, I had ZERO prep time. So this is me "winging it", and although I am mic'd up, I had no idea this would go to KZfaq. So, you may be critical, that's your right, but understand this, I am a firefighter, and I will do anything to help keep people safe, even if its doing an impromptu fire extenguisher training on the fly.

Jan. 7, 2020 Saw this for the first time. I was looking to buy an extinguisher for my car, but couldn't remember what kind (ABC I learned). At 18 y/o I stood by (no extinguisher) and watched a 1 y/o car burn to the ground. At 34 y/o I saved a lady and her baby and put out an engine fire with an ABC. I always have extinguishers in the house and garage and will soon have in my car. It's a great feeling to save a car that is smoking from an electrical fire.

Presentation is very nice, pronunciation is clear. Its worth knowledgeable and at the same time enjoying. Thanks for such nice video.

Great video! I liked Captain Bode's style. I always learn more from a lesson taught by a normal person with a sense of humor than a lecture that is not much more than a text book spoken aloud.

i used your video in school in Pakistan to teach people how to use extinguishers. awesome video

Thank you for this video! This was very informative, just what I need to know to deal with a house fire. I like that the presenter is a real fire fighter! He is not some polished, monotone actor. He did an excellent job here.

Thank you Captain Bode, I am showing this video to my office. I think your a rock star!

Thanks for going to the trouble to produce and share this! Very helpful. In particular, most people probably didn't realize how important it is to put extinguishers near exit routes, rather than right by the places where they believe fires could occur. 😊👍

This is great. I was trying to show my girlfriend and her mom the procedure, especially "aiming at the base," and this helped a lot to visually show them.

Per NFPA 10 and Manufacturer, ABC Fire Extinguishers REQUIRE: 1. Monthly Inspection. Check Gauge 2. Annual Service. Check Pull Pin, replace tamper seal, check hose, check valve, Invert to fluff powder, check date for required service and any factory recall. 3. Every 6 year service. Internal examination, discharge powder, check valve, replace rubber o-ring 4. 12 Year Hydro test. Per CFR 49 on pressure vessels 5 NFPA 10 ANY ABC Extinguisher manufactured prior to 1984 must be taken out of service.

You did a great job! As a safety professional the real world knowledge and comments you have are golden. Thanks

Fantastic. Seeing people actually hands on is illuminating.

From 2019 thank you for the education..

Good and thorough advice given. Very educational because of the many useful tips! Awesome.

IT'S SURPRISING THAT IN 2013 WE KNEW THAT CHINA WAS MAKING ALL THESE COPIES, and now it is 2020 and we still buy them........

Really great training. Seeing the hands on was insightful

Thank you for this super informative video. I am pretty scared of fire and this has give me the information I need to fight a small one if I need to instead of being too afraid to take action and to know when it is time to get out.

Captain Bode, Thank you for your time and all that you & your team of Fire Fighters and Police Officers do for the city of Kirtland. This is a great video to show both adults and younger adults. Keep up the good work and be safe.

Extinguishers DO HAVE AN EXPIRE DATE. Based on the contents the requirement for internal maintenance varies. 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 6 years. Some are listed for only 12 years and are disposable.

very good video. i think he should explain the leidenfrost effect as the reason why we should start from the base and not directly to the center.

Very nice video and instruction of fire extinguisher. Thanks a lot! Our office is planning to have a training soon, likely a computer simulated one, not as interesting as this real fire experience.

Awesome presentation. I got more from this than from any other out there. Thank you!

I really liked this video i will be driving a school bus soon , all this information is great thank you very much.

Thank you for the great video. I'm now a certified firefighter.

Great video and lesson.

Thank you! I really understand this time.

Hands on the practice always leads to the goals mastered the rules and outcomes. Fantasticsocial leadship by proactivity.

Very useful course. Thank you very much!

Many counterfeit extinguishers might all have the same serial number. Even the label on the counterfeit units will counterfeit the UL or ULC mark. They get shipped in in large cases that have Made in China on the case, but the extinguisher inside says made in the United States.

I appreciate you for very useful knowledge

Great video, interesting to see. I think its important to tell people about the fire triangle, and why you slowly sweep, as in your smothering the fire. That way your empowering people to use their brains, ie if you dont have an extinguisher but have a truckload of dirt, dump the dirt on the fire. I know this isnt necessarily relevant to America, but Here we have colour coded banded extinguishers with basic signage. So all you have to look for is the white band to know that its an abe type. The signage that has to accompany extinguishers here has pictures showing what you can and cant use it for, clearly and simply along with the colour coding. Our abc types are called abe for a class b class and e for electrical, but they are also suitable for c class here which is combustible gasses They have and continue to save lives because no matter where you go in its the same colour banding. also Diesel .....Safer fuel, why dont you guys use a lpg gas water bath? so much safer.

Great communicator, learnt a lot interestingly

While I applaud this video for some very useful tips on portable fire extinguisher use and safety, there are a few misconceptions. Fire extinguishers do have an expiration date and reputable manufacturers specify hydrostatic testing to be performed and documented at certain intervals and it's critical that manufacturer's instructions are adhered to. In addition, there are some older types of extinguishers considered obsolete and no longer safe or approved for use. While very unlikely today, if you come across any of these types they should not be used : (1) Soda acid (2) Chemical foam (excluding film-­forming agents) (3) Vaporizing liquid (e.g., carbon tetrachloride) (4) Cartridge ­operated water (5) Cartridge­ operated loaded stream (6) Copper or brass shell (excluding pump tanks) joined by soft solder or rivets (7) Carbon dioxide extinguishers with metal horns (8) Solid charge-type AFFF extinguishers (paper cartridge) (9) Pressurized water fire extinguishers manufactured prior to 1971 (10) Any extinguisher that needs to be inverted to operate (11) Any stored pressure extinguisher manufactured prior to 1955 (12) Any extinguishers with 4B, 6B, 8B, 12B, and 16B fire ratings (13) Stored­ pressure water extinguishers with fiberglass shells (pre­1976) Dry chemical stored pressure extinguishers manufactured prior to October 1984 shall be removed from service at the next 6­ year maintenance interval or the next hydrotest interval, whichever comes first. Any fire extinguisher that can no longer be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance manual is considered obsolete and shall be removed from service.

I love this video. thank you

Thank you this was very helpful in case of a fire :D

This was a very good video, thank you.

Thanks for the video and protecting the people!

Excellent , thanks!

Nice. Helpful. Thanks.

Actually the best place for dry powder is in a vehicle, the constant shaking of the extinguisher as the vehicle moves prevents caking.

I had an ABC 20LB extinguisher that failed on a kitchen fire for my neighbor and I was so disappointed. I want to replace the one I had simply because its really too heavy for my wife to use. 2 Question please: is it better to have four 5 lbs extinguishers or two 10 lbs fire extinguishers? What poundage is best for a wood stove and for a kitchen? thank you

Great video!

thanks Capt Doug !! :D

Explained v well.Thanks a million.

Very Nice Video. Life Safety Is The Goal.

Good presentation

thank you!

Thank you for sharing...

Great info! Thank you!

VERY USEFUL CLASS

OK. Good video for a review before I get extinguisher try tonight. OK

Thanks to that guy

Pull .Aim . Squeeze . Sweep .

Pressurized extinguishers containing dry chemical SHOULD NOT BE INVERTED in order to fluff the chemical. Such action can plug the gauge opening. Each particle of chemical is already pressurized and will move out of the extinguisher as soon as the valve is opened by squeezing the lever and handle together.

Great job

Thank you sir

Thanks

Thanks for this presentation. I'm watching this for tips as I'm off to replace my extinguishers today after getting an email informing me the Kiddie fire extinguisher I bought has "issues" and to contact Kiddie. I wonder if it's one of those forgeries you mention in your session? I also own the kind that looks like hairspray. Glad I haven't needed either.

Are all the beaded plastic pin ties easy to break? Home and business extinguishers?

I made a mistake buying the caned fire extinguisher

I'm actually looking forward to becoming a firefighter, I'm only 16 so I'm starting to learn the basics now.. Without the need of a school.

Sure we can have fire, and we can have the knowledge of fire, but with that comes the knowledge of everything......

Along with D and K

There lighting it with a flare

he covers so much information in a chat senario....

But; overall a great video.

9:57" is everything clear as mud so far?" No?yes? Well I mean not since that sentence

how do i dispose one of these? just in the garbage?

The instructor said he didn't like a student's advice/ suggestion, but never expanded on what the problem was. I guess there's a fine line between calling someone out or appearing to be an A-hole, so simply saying he didn't like the suggest, the point got across.

Wow so serious with the sun glasses

Is kidde fire extinguisher any good

Remember: don't get yourself killed , OKAY.

Isn't a Class C fire that loses its electricity technically a Class K fire, since the wires are made of metal?

Multi station smoke detector commercial KZfaq video link, saving lives environment energy climate two patents eligible to eliminate the need to replace battery in unit

extinguishers do have a life span 1984 or older

anyone that hides behind sunglasses..really people can you believe this guy..

30 people aren't extinguishing their house fires right now

10 lb ABC does not give you 45 seconds. 25-30 seconds. Powder is baking soda.

hank? breaking bad?

Dry Chems absolutely have an expiration date on them!! Wrong answer my man.

Technical it is a very poor video. Depending on the type of extinguisher, they do have servicing intervals. That way, if you drop them, they will not blow up at your feet. Lots wrong with this video.

Why is it so Cheesy?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Ephesians 2:8-9, Jesus Christ is the only way...

They are all doing it wrong
