down a fairly good size chair fire- I will be getting one of these
extinguishers for sure- thanks for the info Andy...

I had posted this information a couple years ago.

 

I saw a demonstration of a different type of fire extinguisher years ago.
It was called FireAde 2000.  I don't' sell the stuff.

 

In the demo the guy dumped gasoline in a wash tub and lit it.  He
extinguished the fire with his stuff.  Then he stepped into the tub and took
a propane torch and tried to re-light it while still standing in it.  It
would not light.  When sprayed on a fire, it emulsifies and prevents
combustion.  It also cools as it hits so it helps to bring temps below flash
temps.

 

With the advent of YouTube, there are several demonstration videos.

the point)

 

More can be found.

 

This is what I will be carrying on my plane.

 

Here is one site that sells it:  http://www.firesupplydepot.com/
