Fire extinguisher

[tigger]

If you happen to have a fire extinguisher mounted in the bed of your puckup. that the safty pin fell out of DO NOT hit it with a piece of firewood, because it will hit it the handle and it will be pointed right at you when the firewood hits the handle perfectly to set it off and you will be covered in white stuff. and your daughter will be rolling on the yard laughing so hard she will pee her pants. And grandma will make you strip out side befor letting you in the house. Just dont do it!!!!

Thank you for making that clear. Once something has been seen it can't be unseen...

 

[tigger]

Sorry no picks. And i did not get it in my eyes or mouth. Took a hose to the inside of the bed to clean it out. wonder if my fire wood will burn now?

Hey Tig, Thanks for the heads-up, I will from now on keep my firewood and my fire extingusher (with pin removed) in opposite corners of my truck, can't be too safe you know.

Hey at least it wasnt inside the cab of your truck...Guy in my unit in Alaska threw a drip pan behind the seat and it landed on the fire extinguisher....purple K all up in the cab of his M1074.

Make sure you clean it up as soon and as completely because it is terribly corossive. I'm not saying how I know this, great for fire supression otherwise a mess.

I did the same thing last week but I was inside my shop.

For something like this, you need VIDEO!!

 

[John S-B]

Should have added that they do make plastic ties that break easy to hold the pin in. You can also use a bread wrapper or garbage bag tie. Or any thin copper wire. I've even used a piece of electrical tape to keep that pin in. ESPECIALLY if it's in a cab or crew compartment. Just bouncing up and down the road without a pin can be enough for the handle to slowly bleed off pressure. Then you got a big ol' paperweight.

It sounds so funny and i acknowledge that, generally no one can be careless to this extent.

hard to laugh with you - or at you looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
