Water Fire Extinguisher
Halon (BCF) Fire Extinguishers
Halon (BCF) fire extinguishers contain a liquefied gas agent under pressure. The
pressure indicator shows an acceptable pressure range, a recharge range, and an
overcharged range. A safety pin with a pull ring prevents accidental trigger
movement. When released the liquefied gas agent vaporizes and extinguishes the
fire. The extinguisher is effective on all types of fires, but primarily on electrical,
fuel and grease fires.
Direction for use of the fire extinguisher is printed on the extinguisher.
