P50 Fire Extinguishers.

Zoomup
These new fire extinguishers are able to be used on electrical fires even though they are a foam type. Has anyone used one, and if so do they work well? They apparently do not need a fire engineer to service them annually and they have a ten year life. I have no connection with the makers or sellers.

    That depends what is in your min-van rather, and what it is worth . Dry powder is the traditional for domestic vehicles in the UK, as working well on liquid fuel fires, but oh boy it makes a mess. so you may prefer to have  something else like CO2 as well if you have valuable stock you may hope to rescue, but you need the presence of mind to grab the right one so if in doubt just the one.

    And on the mess front paying a bit more for the kind that stop when you release the trigger is also worth it (some of the simple ones just keep spraying).
