Thank you

it would be helpful to have a better image of where the safety pin sits and how to remove it - and how to remove the anti-tamper (not Temper) seal. what is that? how do you remove it?

thank you, by far the best explanation I could find for what to look for in Australian fire extinguishers

I don’t think it’s ai , but

AI is getting out of hand

I see you have the requisite barnwood backround...(like all the other sheep out there)

Well explained 👏 👌

hi Russ have not seen the movie either but we know CO2 is 830 psi theoretically it would seems if you were going through to make an ext Rocket you would think CO2 is theone to use?

Great video 👍

Awesome video!

Awesome video!

Great video!

what would be nice is the standards to stop saying "check" and actually do some work. testers attend site in dinner suite, defect an item then send a random quote. Example: for adjusting a screw in a fire door. attendance fee, 2 men minimum 4 hrs. $1000 bill for adjusting a door. Australian standards should review the word "maintenance" and what that means. Maintain its current condition. Imagine asking for a car service and all they do is just perform checks. Servicing under this standard should include some adjustments and maintenance for defects.

Awesome video!

Awesome video!

HI Russ My current question to you is does the differences you state also apply to co detector / alarm and or heat alarm / detector ? thoughts please thank you

Thank you so much for uploading all of videos for AS1851! I have to study it for my new job and have no experience in the industry... I really really appreciate you !!!!

WHat other colour fire extinguishers are there apart from red and what do the different colours, if any, mean?

What do you suggest for carrying in a car? Thank you. 👍

Thank you. Does the website have the decode for the 2A:30B:E codes?

I need to test smoke alarms in my apartment to meet Victorian legislation, there are only smoke detectors which I cannot test. Do I need to install smoke alarms to meet legislation?

Here is the chart @Josept - l.firewize.com/extinguisher-types

Hello Joseph! Here is a link to the image you can access; l.firewize.com/extinguisher-types

At 12 seconds into this video I got the the colour chart I was asking about in an earlier video screen captured and edited in some highlighting to help me remember the different types. *THANK YOU!* ❤This is greatly appreciated. 👍👍

Sorry but that just gave me a headache due from information overload to the fast delivery. I have memory issues due to medication I take for an injury and I am unable to remember what the different colour bands are as you jumped from one to the next. Do you have a chart on your website (I looked but didn't find but I could easily have missed it) that can be copied and printed out which I could then laminate for a constant reference to help with what "colour band" I would need. I'll look online and see if I can find something that will help me if you don't have a Colour Chart for fires and recommended extinguishers. I ran a SOHO fixing computers and I picked up 4 x 1kg powder units and a fire blanket 20 years ago. I know Dry Powder makes a massive mess to clean up but if I was going to have an need to deploy it then it was going to be electrical so a liquid was out of the question. (Powder is still flowing inside the containers with yearly checks and the pressure still reads in the green though I am skeptical) and I have upgraded the fire blanket. As a result of my scepticism I added an additional 1 x 1.5kg Dry Powder in the kitchen and would like a 2.5kg in that location instead of the 1.5kg one. There are 2 x 1mt x 1mt Fire Blankets in easy reach above the extinguisher though I am considering getting a couple of larger blankets. I have 1 x 2.5kg in the garage along with 2 x 9kg units last checked in December 2022 as there is a 9.8kWh Lithium Ion battery in there). There are 1.5kg and 2.5kg extinguishers in the occupied granny flat (not granny occupied) plus a 1mt x 1.2mt and a 1.2mt x 1.8mt fire blankets there as well. The 1mt x 1.2mt is to smother a kitchen fire and the larger one to be used as protection to exit the building. The granny flat has a single exit and my reasoning behind the large blanket was to get out of the occupied building safely and with minimal if any burns. I would like to replace the 1.5kg Dry Powder extinguisher in my kitchen with one that can be safely sprayed on an oil fire. I read or watched a video recently that Dry Powder on an oil fire was not a really good idea as it could cause a flare up a bit like when idiots fling water on one. I finding conflicting information about this and your info seems pretty good once I'm able to absorb some of it by watch the videos three or four times. I'm also 68 so that doesn't help either. Crap, sorry went off topic a bit. What I was trying to ask was *what would you suggest would be the best extinguisher option for an oil fire in the kitchen?* I realise 5 x 1kg, 2 x 1.5kg, 2 x 2.5kg and 2 x 9kg extinguishers is overkill but they are placed all over the two buildings in strategic location to allow us to egress a burning building and maybe extinguish a small fire. They are not for playing pretend fireman. Why is there not any Govt Regulation for having at least a Fire Blanket for the kitchen? I got my first one 27 years ago when they initially became more common and affordable. An extinguisher use needs some training which was not available 27 years ago unless you could organise a suitable number of people for some instruction at your job site. I know this because I wanted my wife to have training on how to correctly handle a cooking oil fire. This should be taught in schools alongside bushfire drills. My apologies for my _War And Peace_ length post for just a question about the most appropriate type and size of extinguisher for an oil based fire in the kitchen. Also, got any suggestions for an appropriate unit to carry in a car? My 1kg extinguishers have exposed parts that can get knocked in the boot plus there is not a good place if any to mount the holder. Any suggestions on that? I also had to Subscribe so I wouldn't forget your site; don't get old because your memory begins to suck. 🤦‍♂ If this post is too long, not very coherent and could cause confusion to the readers who will visit then please delete it. Thank you for your videos. 👍

Hello. Thanks for your great feedback.

Thanks Faisal - We are constantly producing videos about new and interesting products, services, Australian Standards, legislation and other relevant fire industry topics. We have a roadmap of new topics, and we'll be sure to add your suggestion to the list!

Hi Sir, can you please create videos on the design of dry and wet systems with BCA codes. And hydrants and fire sprinklers with codes. I will be really thankful for you.

Brilliant educational content

How do I get in touch with John Kilgour. I have a new product that is economical friendly that will extinguishe any fire. Your help would be appreciated

When I worked for home depot , it wasn't unusual for a fork lift driver to strike a sprinkler head causing it to fail. Generally happened in the lumber department for some reason. Real fun times when they manage to crack the supply line.

There is a system that has 'pilot' sprinklers and then additional sprinklers without a glass bulb. These systems detect when a pilot is flowing (glass bulb has broken and water is flowing) and activate all the sprinklers. These systems can also be activated smoke or by pulling the fire alarm switch. They are usually used in chem labs or tire warehouses.

Same thing Russ loose the video after the 19 minute mark

Hi Russ, the video drops out at the 19 minute mark. Can you check it's not the upload?

Thanks for a series of interesting videos. I'm medically retired from 25 years at CSIRO. I was in the fire science area at North Ryde, Sydney. The facilities are still going strong, testing fire doors, floor sections, and lots of AS and international tests. CSIRO developed hot smoke testing of facilities. I'd developed the halo ring fire truck protection system now used on RFS/CFA etc trucks. Cheers

Surprised nobody else has pointed this out, in the Fire Classifications you have Class D written as Class B. Need to fix this to save confusing those who don’t know the difference.

So is it a given that diesel starting batteries have the specific gravity checked each month (as in the standard) or would a load test be more appropriate given you are actually testing the batteries ability to deliver a specific amount of current at a given voltage, (ohms law), because specific gravity only tells you that the battery should be ok to deliver what it claims to, not the fact of what it does deliver through a load test.
