Let's face it. the fire fighters doesn't really arrive to where the fire is, in a way they're needed most. Often, when they are arrive to the scene the fire goes to 3rd or 4th alarm. and fire fighting tools like fire extinguisher that came from them (fire bureaus) is hardly working, and if there is one available you would be just lucky if it worked. but let's have a reality check, fire fighters are checking your fire extinguisher every year asking you to replace your unit or update them, so every year you update your unit and then you pay for it huge cash, right!? here's the truth, fire extinguisher has a 10 - 12 years life span. and remotely it expire to 5 years if being used, and there are fire extinguisher that the life span is just 5 years depending on the content. here's more odd about it, fire bureaus will tell you to decommission your Fire fighting unit and change it with their unit, if you would say; "i'll buy with my trusted distributor, they will tell you;"those are not accredited by us." so you the common people, not knowing the truth will buy to them because after all their unit was accredited by them, and they are fire men, who should know the right, and best to safe keep your most valuable assets, investments, and mostly hard earned investments. However, that's not always the case, here's more odd information that we gather. according to a 2011 blog of a woman who experience losing her assets, and valuables, she found out that not all fire men has the skills, knowledge, and training in identifying the fire extinguishers. they may have the knowledge of the chemicals of it's probable content but they can't simply recognize the chemical content judging by the color. the good news is, you have the rights of information, and the second good news is there is new product who is solely distributed by Excelta Trading Corporation.
