I assume, but I could be wrong, that an ABC extinguisher is a compromise and you’d be better off with one that is designed to fight just the kind of fire you have. My comment though was addressing the complaints here about it not working well on this brush fire, despite the product specifying that it doesn’t work well on brush fires, I mean they told you it wasn’t for that yet that’s what you tested it in. Strange.

Not impressed. Only thing I’d like to see is how a traditional fire extinguisher performed on the same fire.

I had some dry chemical extinguishers that were old and slightly under pressure so I took them on a camping trip to show my wife how to put out a fire with a fire extinguisher. She used one on a good sized wood fire and it was like flipping a light switch. The fire went out instantly. I was going to buy some of these Element fire sticks but I've seen far too many videos like this one, they don't appear to be very effective to say the least.

I used about 15 cents worth of baking soda one time to put out a similar grease fire and it went out IMMEDIATELY. If these extinguishers are only good for certain fires, under certain conditions, they aren't worth the money. They are a false sense of security IMO. And who says there won't be wind in an engine bay fire?

The problem with Element is that it doesn't cool the burning pieces, as water does. So, even if you suppress the flames, if the base is still hot enough, it will re-ignite. If the fire doesn't have a base of something that retains embers, such as wood, the Element will work as designed.

It was one of the other car owners who put the fire out with a conventional extinguisher. I carry two conventional extinguishers now. One for me and one in case I meet someone else with a fire who only has firesticks! 😂.

I don't really think he gave it every chance to work. The element website specifically says it's not recommended for wood campfires because the coals can reignite the wood, especially in the presence of wind. And he put the second fire at the bottom of a barrel on a windy day where he could not effectively get the product to reach the source of the fire, which any fire extinguisher needs to be able to do in order to be effective. In an engine bay he would have multiple routes to reach the fire with the product of this extinguisher because the fire itself wouldn't be able to push the smoke away as it did in the barrel. He'd have probably had better results by just dropping the extinguisher into the barrel for the second test.

Element literally has a notice on their website that live ember fires are best extinguished with water. This holds true even when you have a dry chemical extinguisher available. Water removes two sides of the fire triangle from a live ember fire. Oh, and you're also holding it much too close to the fire and keep pulling it away/downwind of the fire, allowing it to start back up again.

@Xanthopteryx

8 ай бұрын

Water removes one side: Heat. Of course if you drench it, it removes oxygen too but normally only cooling effect. Powder primarily removes the air (covering the fuel) but also interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire, so two for one so to say. This is why they are so extremely effective.

If it is a fire that has just started burning, this device works. For fires that have been burning for several minutes, only water can put it out.

Whilst it's more expensive and requires upkeep even a 2.5lb/1kg ABC Powder would have put all those fires out in seconds. The fire stick concept is not new and was first marketed several decades ago (& still is I believe) by a road flare manufacturer as the Chimfex - specifically for Chimney Fires, where it does work - they never claimed it as a more universal product & still don't. Here in the UK/Europe we've gone for new extinguishing agents in traditional extinguishers with far more sucess.

I would have liked seeing you do the same test with an ABC fire extinguisher for a true comparison. At my employer, we are required to have fire extinguisher training yearly. If not properly used, a regular fire extinguisher is pretty ineffective and only sprays for no about 10 seconds. It's main purpose is to knock back a fire to allow you to escape to safety.

I did the same test with a proper extinguisher in another video. The result is much different. Check the channel if you want to see that test.

What did you use for fuel in this "camp fire"? Obviously there are some kind of wood pellets that would never be in a normal camp fire. Can you at least give us the brand of pellets you dumped on the fire and whatever else you have in there?

I used a powder fire extinguisher to save my car once and if I have to again, Im still going to rely on a regular fire extinguisher

When I worked for one of the seven largest oil companies, I had to take fire-fighter training. I quickly discovered how HARD fire is to extinguish. The typical "home-owner" 4-8 pound dry chemical is WORTHLESS! I now carry a 30 pound dry-chemical 30ABC rated in both my car and truck, and another one's in my kitchen. If you stand 4 feet from a fire, it will extinguish 30 square feet of "fire" (an 8 foot square), MAYBE. If it's cloth/trash/paper/wood, you REALLY need the cooling effect of water. A "portable" extinguisher is REALLY only useful in the first minute or two of a fire, when it's SMALL and contained. When your 30 pounder is empty, RUN and be sure you've called the fire department!!! Your and your families' life depends on it! Any FD is GLAD to make a "dry run" if you've extinguished a fire. I watched the Tulsa Fire Dept. burn down a house for training. From a pint of cooking oil lit in a skillet, the entire 2200 sq. ft. two-story was "totally involved" in FOUR MINUTES, and collapsed in 5 minutes, WITHOUT furniture inside. No one COULD have survived.

Such videos rip my heart apart and take the hope for a simple and effective fire extinguisher ;) Jokes aside, I noticed the vendor often shows small extinguished petrol fires, which raised some of my concerns. I have also seen a test where the stick appeared to fuel the fire by either providing heat or stirring the air around, but I am not sure. One of the issues of such a device is it doesn't remove the heat from the fire, so there is a high chance the fire will reignite when the stick is exhausted. I see some issues with your test. 1) They say the stick does not work on a wood fire, see the first test. 2) They recommend larger sticks for cars and motorhomes, perhaps 50-100. 3) What would have happened if you threw the stick into a barrel simulating engine bay fire? I don't know if I will purchase it, but I would get 100s stick, throw it under the bonnet and close it. Maybe this would be more effective, but I am still concerned about the heat that would still be present at the source. I wish the vendor provided more real-life tests. Obviously, it could hurt their business.

Thanks for the input. At the end of the video I did throw the stick into the barrel and it had no effect on the fire. As for the larger stick, it does not knock the fire down at all so adding more time would not yield any different result. Think you nailed it when you said it doesn’t remove the heat, a conventional extinguisher does not remove the heat but it at least chokes the flames out to allow it to start cooling.

@demoniack81

The problem I see with this is that the high velocity exhaust from the extinguisher is creating a venturi effect and pulling clean air along with it, so it's putting the fire out right where you're aiming it but at the same time it's providing more oxygen to the areas around it. It will probably work for a small fire that just ignited, but it has no chance over a large fire unless the fire is contained to an enclosed area (so blazing fuel leaking out the bottom of the hood would already be a problem) AND there are no solid fuels on fire since it seems to do nothing against those. So it's better than nothing but compared to a real fire extinguisher it's useless.

Everything I’ve seen on this product you do not want to count on this to put out a fire when it matters.

Looks like it's better at lighting fighters than extingushing.

I've said it in a few videos now, and though I'm late to this video, I'll say it again. Buy a UL or ULC listed extinguisher, for your home or vehicle a 3A:40B:C is safe to use on just about any fire you'd encounter in your home or vehicle, not safe to use around pool chemicals, its easy to use, doesn't require internal maintenance for 6years, and even past that point should work just fine (the internal maintenance is to examine for corrosion) There are lots of gimmicks on the market, if there were any good at actually extguishing fires, they would have been adopted by the fire protection industry, property tested and listed and would have a listing on them like the one I stated above. Go to your local hardware or big box store, hit up your local fire protection company and ask them for a 5lb ABC with a 3A:40B:C rating and rest well knowing you'll have a fighting chance against a fire. For your home you should have one on each level, an extinguisher in the kitchen isn't going to help you escape the upper level of your home if you're awake in the middle of the night by smoke detectors to find the stairs blocked by fire. Stay safe folks.

The test would have been more relevant had you also included a 5 lb extinguisher for comparison. I submit that it's easy to configure a test for failure, which is what you did. The campfire test is not particularly relevant since (as many people pointed out) the instructions specifically state that the E50 is NOT the best choice for a burning ember fire. I doubt that a pressurised dry chemical extinguisher would have failed in the same way, with the added problem of spewing burning embers. The burning barrel test was simply ridiculous. Sure, all those things in the barrel are in the engine bay, but they're not in a bundle, and they also have access points. You simply put a bunch of stuff in a fat chimney with limited access, and you wonder why it didn't work. Notably, you didn't compare against a 5 lb fire extinguisher, I suspect because you knew that it would also be inadequate.

You're not using that correctly. First, unless you drive a barrel, that's not an engine bay.

Which is true with all extinguishers, not just this thing. People using extinguishers always want to spray the chemical at the flames. You need to spray the material that's burning itself.
