We are currently switching out our AFFF Foam Spray Fire Extinguishers for them at work
Yes I have they are expensive. And swapping out afff for foam what does your workplaces insurance think? As for class b risk (flammable liquids they are not accredited as I think it's the loss prevention council don't recognize water as a flammable liquids medium yes I know it works know our insurance was horrified when we enquired as if approved you could dump 2 extinguishers water / afff and co2 ( they are usually hung in pairs) but no approval = no go
Foam is great on oil fires
The ones we are getting are rated 13A, 21B, 75F, I believe just the afff ones are going, we have no water ones at all and the co2 ones are staying, this is in an office environment so not a high chance of a class b fire.
I'll check about the insurance company, although we recently had a site risk survey carried out on behalf of our insurers and as I understand it this was one of their recommendations.
Today, I'm prepping by going to the dentist a tooth broke a couple of weeks ago, emergency filling in place the next day (thank you NHS!) but now it comes time for the permanent replacement

Of course it does, Prepping needs a lot of research (thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it)
Have just returned from brother-in-laws, his central heating is bust and is cold! He still has electricity but no electric fire or alternative form of heating. We took him an electric blow heater and a mobile gas fire and pointed out that if the electric was off, we wouldn't have a spare gas fire as we'd be using it - what would he do then? Be interesting to see if he does anything about this - I somehow doubt it.

Question is will it return with a empty or full gas bottle ?
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong
Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
