What is the best fire extinguisher for a mini fire?
Depending on the class of fire, many extinguishers can be used on a mini fire. Many extinguishers use damaging powders, foams or water so we recommend Element because it will extinguish flames with no mess.
How long does a traditional 2.5lb fire extinguisher last?
A traditional 2.5 lbs dry powder extinguisher will last for about 10-12 seconds. Dry powder extinguishers use monoammonium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate which are corrosive and leave a mess. Element on the other hand, will discharge for at least 50 seconds, leaves no mess, is non-corrosive and non-toxic. Which would you rather use?
How many pounds of fire extinguisher do I need?
For traditional extinguishers, the number indicates how much dry chemical they contain. The larger the number, the more square footage they can cover with powder.

If you have a fire in the kitchen, do you really need to stop and think about what’s burning and which extinguisher to use?
YES. Extinguishers that are not K rated can have an explosive effect on grease fires and can spread the fire faster. Kitchen fires can also be electrically charged During an emergency it's hard to think about extinguisher types, so we recommend only keeping fire extinguishers that are rated for ABC & K fires in your home, like Element.
