𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐨-𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 "𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬"⚠️🔥⚠️ Recently I have observed the promotion of "Fire Extinguisher Balls" and feel it is important to share the following concerns: 1) This product does not comply with the #NFPA10 standard and lacks a recognized installation standard. (If a valid installation standard exists, please provide details in the comments.) 2) It does not comply with the #UL299 standard, and its associated testing methods deem the product unsuitable. 3) The product lacks a Rating and Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishers according to the #UL711 standard. 4) The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (#CPSC) has identified this product as dangerous in two separate reports from 2023 and 2024 and warned consumers about the risk of burns and smoke inhalation associated with the use of fire extinguishing balls. These products can fail to extinguish a fire, which could lead to serious injury and death. #FireProtection #FireSafety #LifeSafety 1) https://lnkd.in/eTh-fwGb 2) https://lnkd.in/emfUh_S8

Firefighters don’t just fight fires. They take calls that go beyond the flames, often involving hazardous materials like chemical spills or accidents with dangerous substances. Standard gear isn’t going to cut it when it comes to hazardous calls; specialized chemical protective suits are essential. These suits provide the full-body barrier needed to shield firefighters from harmful exposure. But suiting up alone isn’t enough. First responders also need thorough training, diligent PPE maintenance, and careful selection of the right suit for each specific hazard to ensure safety. They must know how to properly wear and seal suits to avoid any breaches that could lead to dangerous exposure. In many incidents, a trained specialist steps in to guide the team on equipment use and oversee operations to keep everyone safe. While PPE is essential, preparation is just as critical. Fire departments emphasize readiness through detailed training, practicing proper sealing techniques, and routine maintenance checks. With the right knowledge and practices, firefighters are better equipped to respond safely and effectively to chemical hazards. Curious to learn more about firefighters and chemical hazards?

FM-200™, also commonly known as HFC-227ea, is a clean agent fire suppressant used for Class A, B, and C fires. It adheres to the NFPA Standard 2001 Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems. Clean agents like FM-200 are swift and effective in suppressing fires, and they are safe to use in occupied spaces since they do not leave any residue. If you're interested in participating in the standards development process for NFPA 2001, you can stay informed through the NFPA website. Remember, safety first!
