Never do what he did though. Fire blankets are fiberglass. Unless you want to be real itchy later. Maybe theirs was new enough not to be frayed, but I wouldn't risk it (unless maybe I was on fire).
@@tttITA10 I guess "kill it with fire" applies to everything. Swarm of bees? Poison spray or KIWF. Zombies? Destroy the brain or KIWF. Ghosts? Worth a shot, I suppose.
those little cans are impressive, but don't shake them like they did. They have a bladder inside them so shaking doesn't do anything but risk breaking the bladder (though it is pretty strong). I've tested those little cans before and even put out a small thermite fire with one. The stuff in them really works. It's some kind of soybean oil emulsion with soap.
My mom bought me that EZ Fire Spray as a gift recently, and I remember thinking it looked a little gimmicky. After seeing this, I'm about ready to buy myself a 2nd one.
It says not to use one in place of a normal fire extinguisher on the can, but the fact that you can put it in any bag and have it with you when you are out walking or hiking, and the fact that it's pretty damn effective, makes it a good choice.
Hahahahha. I hope you do buy a second one… im all for natural selection taking you people out. You should buy one of those fire extinguisher “bombs” too. Or perhaps a novelty fire extinguisher I hear those work really well. Buy one and set your house on fire with you inside it
@@someguy3167 I've been thinking about finding a good spot to mount one under the car hood. I have a regular 5B:C, but it's in the passenger compartment, so if I manage to screw up a fuel system repair or drip oil on the hot exhaust it's not right in arm's reach. Definitely get that shrink wrap off the top before you need it, though. The plastic cap will keep the button from being pushed accidentally.
@@kd5nrh THAT CANNOT PUT OUT CAR FIRE, GET PROPER EXTINGUISHER FOR YOUR CAR. YOU NEED TO BE REALLY REALLY FAST AND EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BEFORE IT GETS PAST "SMOKING" STAGE. When you see that your car is smoking and you open the hood, it instantly catches fire because how much more air it gets from that simple movement, the hood pulls alot of air in.
You should have tried one of those fire extinguisher balls. It uses mono-ammonium phosphate(IIRC) but it's in a ball form with a thin plastic coating. When it reaches more than 170F(maybe C??) the plastic softens and the MAP "explodes" and puts the fire out. It puts a LOT of it in the fire all at once so the fire has a lot better chance of going out no matter how big it is. Also, the CO2 didn't work because you need to use that indoors; the wind was blowing most of it away.
They have a pyrotechnic in the middle (basically a small firecracker) with an exposed fuse that bursts it when exposed to fire and spreads the MAP around. Very effective though.
@@MysticalDork Yeah, I just saw that in the video I posted in response. I'd be willing to bet you could design one that used a CO2 charge to do the same(thereby making it safer to transport)....but either way, they seem to be crazy effective at what they do.
10:50 Brian, the professional fire-eater, whose entire job relies on him being able to set things on fire, fails to set a thing on fire for about a minute. This is the exact reason I'm subscribed.
Love this video! Couple of recommendations: 1: The abc dry chemical extinguisher should’ve been closer and the agent should be swept side to side to get the most out of the extinguisher. 2: co2 should pretty much only be used inside where there is no wind. It’s much less effective outside. 3: co2 Is actually not a great agent. That 5 lb. co2 extinguisher has the same rating as the dry chemical of half the size. 4: co2 is a clean agent which is optimal for performance fire tricks, but it does not actually provide any significant cooling to the fire or person injured. Foam and water are really the only extinguishers that provide real cooling. 5: a fire extinguisher with a hose is much more effective than a smaller extinguisher with a nozzle. It helps the user sweep the agent 6: the fire spray should never replace an extinguisher, in fact I would not recommend it at all. I’m glad this video was made tho because there is lots to learn and informing people about extinguishers is important
And the C02 is really only used for electrical fires, as it doesn't corrode the internal components like the Dry Chemical does. Nor does it create a mess less clean up in say an office space.
@@williamwrigley3475 exactly. Another thing to know is that most electrical fires turn into class A fires once the power is turned off. Burning wires and electrical housings are usually plastic, a class a material
I personaly always carry some fire spray because just for some safety when go solo camping and i agree not recommend that for all fire type like they do in some ads they show
@@MJTVideos plus one to that. In Australia (as mentioned in tiny writing), we have A, B, C, D, E and F classes being Combustible materials, liquids, gases, metals, electrical and fat fires respectively. All your points are, well, on point. I'll just expand it a bit. Every extinguisher has different positives and negatives. Water for example is only really good for class A fires, but for strictly class A fires it's the most effective both in extinguishing the fire and in its cost to "replace". Just unscrew it, fill with water (9 litres of water for a 9kg extinguisher) and use a car air compressor to pump it up to 90-100psi. Also great for water fights and I know of one person who uses it to clean his 4wd windscreen after hitting the mud. CO2 is the least damaging. It's primary method is displacing oxygen, but it does have some cooling effect. But it spreads out quickly and is VERY affected by any wind. It could have been successful, if it was used closer. Dry chemical are non-toxic, but do act as an irritant and medical intervention may be needed. As mentioned it's very corrosive, but can be washed away with copious amounts of water. It also tastes pretty bad (I may have used one or two over the years). The instructions say aim at the base, but are in my professional opinion wrong. Rapid sweeping from top to bottom works better. If aimed at the base, you risk splashing the fuel which creates more surface area to burn and can even splash back onto you (also personal experience with that). A few extinguishers were not mentioned, so here they are. Halon. The BEST extinguisher ever, only slightly illegal to own and use due to its severe ozone depleting properties. However, it is still legal to use in some situations, aviation being one of them. Nothing else with the same cleanliness and effectiveness in such a lightweight package has been developed yet. Halocarbon is the "replacement" for halon, just not as good yet (at putting out the fire, it's much more environmentally friendly). Wet chemical extinguishers may be found in commercial kitchens where fat fires (class f or k depending on country) are expected. Foam extinguishers are actually the best for class B (liquid) fires. It smothers, blocking access to oxygen, while also cooling. It's also self repairing assuming a flat surface or contained enclosure and you deploy enough foam to completely cover the area. You can even aim at just one spot and let the foam spread out over the flammable liquid. Bonus facts. If you can't aim at the fire with a dry chem, you can "bounce" it off walls, ceilings etc. Liquid fires can be controlled and extinguished with water. It takes skill and patience to do it and a very fine mist of water works best. A water extinguisher is the worst choice and may not have enough water to do the job, but I'd still use one if it was the only type available. Electrical fires cease to be electrical fires if you turn the electricity off. The main difference is the sparking is a continuous source of ignition and electrically conductive mediums like water and foam risk electrocution. Water CAN be used, but you need to ensure a broken stream so the electricity doesn't have a path back to you. Aim high and lob it on. * I'm an ex-firefighter, some techniques require training before attempting. Do so at your own risk.
Why wouldn’t you recommend fire spray? Like obviously I wouldn’t trust it over an actual extinguisher but it looks like it does a good job in the video
@@annecyleI would recommend a 10lb abc dry chemical extinguisher with a hose and nozzle for the kitchen. It’s also probably a good idea to have another extinguisher somewhere else around the house so you can get to it if the kitchen is blocked off. The same kind is fine.
I had yearly fire extinguisher training when I worked at a chemical factory. We used toluene in a 4x6 tray. You start at the base but you must sweep quickly as you progress forward. You had to be careful of flashback too. The heat was intense. 🔥 Something I will never forget.
Firemen are taught to always "backhaul" a small fire once it is put out. Basically, you use a hoe or rake to bring any embers or hot spots to the surface. If it reignites, you re-extinguish.
Love how Corey is just the resident adult to the inexperienced boy scouts of Jason and Brian. Standing in the back waiting for something to go wrong so he can take their Fireman chit
Actually, there's another step. Test. Before approaching the fire, let off a very short test burst. This does several things. It proves it works before you get close (pressure gauges can fail, pipes / hoses blocked etc), shows your range and the effects of any wind.
@@jacobyspurnger8488 your "qualified" instructors may not have taught you to test, but mine did. Here's a little video of me at work. (notes: Smokes not an issue due to wearing SCBA. We had the farmers permission to use class A foam so close to his irrigation channels, it's the end of the line for the water flow so no issues with public waterways, harming fish etc.)

A thing to mention about the fire blanket. A: dont throw it on the fire. That will feed it oxygen and make it worse. B: when the blanket is on patt it down by "stroking" it, if you patt it it might yet again feed it oxygen and or still be alive underneath, so work around it by "stroking it out".
@@fredrik45mc if the combustible material has cooled down you dont have to worry about re-ignition of the fire even if there is oxygen. for materials that can spontaneously combust that is a different story
When I was a teenager, my truck caught on fire (I was a Texan then). It happened while I was driving down the road. I pulled off and into a shopping center. Parked in front of a restaurant that looked open but had a nice wide-open area of the parking lot. I ran inside, asked them to call the fire department, and took their fire extinguisher off the wall on my way back out. I think because I also worked in a restaurant, I must have instinctively known that there would be a fire extinguisher there. I got back out to the truck and started spraying it down. Shortly after I got started, the fire department showed up and also started spraying it down with their own fire extinguisher. We did get it put out, and there was not much outer cosmetic damage. The truck was damaged though. Wiring under the hood was toasted, and the plastic box that was my AC looked like a forgotten candle. Inside, the carpet was melted and a lot of stuff inside the dash melted as well. The top of the dash cracked and looked like it belonged to a car from the 70s. Amazingly, I was able to start it and drive it home. I could rewire the truck. I could replace the damaged parts of the dash. I could replace the carpet. The AC was out of my teenage price range, but I could start hitting junkyards until I found a replacement. What I absolutely could not do, was get that acrid smell of the monoammonium phosphate out of the truck. Luckily, several months later, someone cut me off and totaled it. Relevant to this group, I am pretty sure they were trying to perform some kind of "forced accident" scam on me.
I keep BC fire extinguishers in my vehicles for this reason. If you could smell chemical and it was acrid, you can safely assume the high temperature of the fire reacted the monoammonium phosphate powder into lingering phosphoric acid that dodged your cleanup efforts and was eventually going to chew rust holes into whatever steel parts survived and cause increasingly severe electrical gremlin issues as wire and solder gets corroded away as well. The guy that totaled you saved you a hefty chunk of money on electrical and rust repair bills.
@@Ech0Sierraexactly this!! Regular BC or purple K for a vehicle. Amerex doesn’t make regular BC extinguishers anymore, purple K replaces the need for that. If it’s a real high value car where powder is unacceptable, go with Halotron 1.
To be fair, he has been doing fire eating for a long time, and im sure he learned from his mistakes in the past. Knowing fire safety is important while doing fire tricks, including how to put them out lol
Also when using a extinguisher remember you're not using it again so start and don't stop until it's empty. Go overkill and be safe. Brian stopped mid way and let the fire build up again before continuing to extinguish it, making it harder for himself and running out of co² before it was extinguished.
1) if a shipmate were to spontaneously combust we referred to him as a "screaming alpha fire", B) a CO2 extinguisher is the only one that can cool your beer. Awesome video
The EZ Fire Spray is really nice to keep in the kitchen by the stove. Especially for those situations where there is a fire, but it's not really big enough to warrant using a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Like if some paper towels or some grease falls in the burner, things like that.
Omg the chemical fire extinguisher story was scary. I remember the function of fire extinguishers for putting out chemical fires being described in my high school chemistry class. They're designed to work best in enclosed spaces and after everyone evacuates you fire it into the room from the door way then exit and close the door while it smothers the fire.
*DISCLAIMER:* Do NOT use any part of any pine tree on a fire meant for indoor use. There is an incredible amount of harsh smoke that comes from burning pine, due to the sap.
Yeah they clearly have no idea what they're doing with those extinguishers. You're not supposed to spray them from 20 yards away. Also the CO2 extinguisher was clearly not full.
this is a legit helpful video. also there are "grenades" that are fire extinguishers. its a ball that once it takes on enough heat it goes off like a bomb and puts out the fire, super neat product and I definitely wanna see it on this channel
In a fire fighting video for the home, made by the local fire brigade, they showed how to correctly shut down a pan filled with burning oil. 1. Turn off gas/power 2. Put lid on pan 3. Wait till pan has cooled down Then they showed the NO NO NO method of trying *water* to extinguish a grease/oil fire. The fireman had a full protective suit on with breathing mask and he was literally holding the cup of water on a ten foot pole, then put the water in the burning pan. The result was the most terrible but also somehow beautiful flamethrower effect.
I'm a fire extinguisher technician in California, and I can tell you that a C class fire extinguisher means that the extinguishing agent inside the fire extinguisher is non-electrically conductive, and therefore is safe to use on a fire where a live circuit may be present. There is a kind of fire extinguisher called a Loaded-Stream fire extinguisher, which just has water in it. If you were to use that on a C class fire, it could cause you serious harm depending on the situation. But your standard red bottle fire extinguisher is non-conductive.
If you are a "fire extinguisher technician" anywhere and are refilling "loaded stream" extinguishers with plain water you need to be fired and go back to whatever training class you might have taken.
EZ fire spray is basically a solution of water and potassium lactate, with nitrogen or CO2 as the propellant. Potassium lactate is the potassium salt of lactic acid. The same thing found in cheese, spoiled milk, and in your muscles when you exercise really hard. Similar fire sprays may contain potassium acetate instead. Potassium lactate acts as a surfactant, and when sprayed out of the bottle with a propellant, creates an incredibly fine mist of water droplets. Much finer than straight water + propellant could produce. Water is extremely good at absorbing heat, and it takes a lot of heat to turn water into steam (in scientific terms, water has a high latent heat of vaporization, and high specific heat capacity). So, the fire is very quickly covered with a very fine mist of water droplets, which cools the fire down to the point it can no longer sustain combustion. The very fine mist of the fire spray increases the surface area of the water droplets and makes it more efficiently and quickly absorb heat. Fun fact: This fire spray technology was first produced as US military technology in the late 1990's to replace halon extinguishing systems in military vehicles.
Corey the underappreciated. The only grownup on set, he needs more screen time and equal billing. I'm cheering for you buddy! Class these guys up a bit!
If you use a fire blanket (they´re usally made from fiberglass, by the way) to put out a fire on the ground, best drag it over the fire with two people holding it at adjacent corners. When you lift it again better peel it back, sorta like a blanket before you crawl under it. When you just lift it, ther´s a good chance that some flames flash up with the air stream that follows the blanket´s contour, pretty much right onto where your hand is.
The best fire extinguisher is one containing Halon 1301, although they aren’t really produced anymore due to environmental factors affecting the ozone layer of our atmosphere. You’d only see them on aircraft though.
In the UK our classification is slightly different to the us: A: wood paper and textiles. B: flammable liquids, C; gaseous fires with no explosion risk F: cooking oil and fats. D: magensum fires. In the UK we have no classification for electrical fires but sometimes you'll see Class E but not compusary. We know if a fire extinguisher is safe for electrical fires as you'll find a electrical zig zag logo on the extinguisher. Powder has no cooling affect hence why once it extinguished it can reignight compared to other fire extinguishers that has a inbuilt cooling effect. Also a fire blanket used to be also called an asbestos blanket as it is used to contain white asbestos. Now it's made of fiberglass. So if you hear someone saying asbestos blanket you know they mean a fire blanket. Also Powder can be used if you spill fuel to reduce the risk of ignition plus powder is used for rapid knockdown compared for other fires! I've used a powder extinguisher from 1991 and it still worked a few years back bit it stained our grass blue for days! It also stained my shoes! Some power extinguishers have blue or white power in.
Fire extinguishers are usually designed to give you an escape. Putting out fires is nice but the main priority is getting away and having proper processionals (such as a firefighter) put out the fire. Though it all depends on the circumstances
I love that the video is about fire safety and Bryan "the fire professional" is wearing what looks like synthetic flip flops. Thus not protecting his feet and even worse they could meld stuck to his feet.
At least once when I was working at a manufacturer, we had a mandatory lesson in the parking lot from the fire department on how to use a fire extinguisher. Pretty sure if you go to your local fire department they'd probably gladly show you.
Jason: " I thought you meant it was going to be a big explosion!" Gasoline Fuming at the bottom of the pit: "Just give me a few minutes to build up here..."
i worked in a kitchen a long time ago. one day the dishwasher caught on fire. it was most definitely an electrical fire because i was walking by it and i saw the sparks before and during the fire. it turned out that the hose that supplied water to the dishwasher was what caught on fire. the hose full of water caught on fire from an electrical short.
The reason why the CO2 fire extinguisher did not work at least in my opinion is that CO2 fire extinguishers require you to get closer to the fire for the CO2 to knock out the oxygen or the heat.
Okay... here’s the thing. Fire extinguishers are not meant to actually fight large fires. They are made to try and prevent a small fire from becoming a large Fire. If the room is on fire, don’t try to put it out, the fire extinguisher is only there so you can put out the door and leave. Every type of extinguisher has its own speciality. I would never use one of the powder extinguishers indoors because you’ll find that powder for years. But, if your car engine caught fire, it’s ideal since it covers everything. Foam extinguishers are usually the best all around types, except for professional kitchens and when there’s a lot of electrical devices. Never use a CO2 extinguisher to put out a person, because that gas is -40 degrees Celsius. Also, it’s dependent on gas, smothering the fire’s oxygen supply. That CO2 extinguisher might’ve been able to kill that fire... if there was no wind spreading the gas before it even reached the fire source. CO2 extinguishers are not to be used outside. I literally only saw them around in computer filled offices and such. I hope that helped a little.
Video Idea: Repurpose the fire extinguisher for different uses e.g, spray paint cannon, pepper spray, flamethrower ;). Not sure why my mind went to majority criminal uses but none the less would be interesting.
THING IS... you don't need fire to have a reason to use a fire extinguisher - if you're "lucky" and own one that's recalled! The mfr instructions to make them safe was to take them outside and use them!
Not seeing it up here, so for anyone curious. There is a K class fire and fire extinguisher, it's a grease fire, and the extinguisher has an alkaline agent in the suppressant that turns some of the burning grease/oil into a soap like mixture to help kill the fire quickly.
This video was awesome guys! I loved how interested Jason seemed in learning everything Brian knew about fire, and I'm surprised by how well the last one worked! Great video guys!
Brian is weirdly cowardly about things like this, but is perfectly fine eating actual dissolved metals That Ramen video is still the dumbest, most unsafe thing he's ever done.
If you have a recording studio, video studio, server closet or the like, check your fire extinguisher. Make sure you don't have a chemical one. It will eat the copper off the circuit boards and insurance usually won't cover it. I prefer CO2. There may be other types (like Halon - big bucks), but make sure it's electronic friendly.
I think the problem with the co2 exthinguiser is that its best used in close proximity and enclosed spaces. In open air far away the fire re-ignites itself very quickly as seen
Here in Germany we have the classes: A for Solids, B for fluids, C for gases, D for metals and F for fats. There are no electrical fires in germany lol But still, on extinguishers there's an information if it is usable for E-fires Also, the therm "Chemical fires" is a little misleading, every fire has to do with chemistry... And finally, i dislike CO² in buildings, for they can suffocate you faster than the fire ever can
Seems worthy of a follow-up video covering some other alternatives like foam extinguishers and those little extinguishing powder 'bombs' that are basically just extinguisher grenades. also what's in EZ Fire Spray to make it work???
It might actually be more fun for shows if you bust out a can of EZ Fire Spray. Imagine a fire goes out of control and some crazy busts out a can of hairspray and puts it out.
UK fire extinguishers are by colour. Red water, cream foam, Blue dry powder, Black CO2 and yellow wet chemical. Jason's idea of just throwing the fire extinguisher in is not that mad as i remember someone inventing a ball that you threw into a fire and the ball would explode spreading fire retardant. CO2 really is not good outdoors but if used in a room remember trying to breath CO2 does not work lol.
So if I recall correctly, the UK - before the EU got involved - had blue extinguishers for water, black for CO2, red for foam, and something for powder (possibly yellow or white?). Then the EU decided to have all of them red, and white text printed on them saying “water” or “CO2” etc. I have to say, as a dyslexic - the colours made so much more sense. With adrenaline pumping, colours are much easier to process when reading is hard. Maybe now #brexit...?
I used a "mono-ammonium phosphate powder" fire extinguisher on a motor bike YESTERDAY! A man was riding it and the gas tank exploded under his "area" and he bailed from the bike. The tank was on fire in the middle of the street and there was a light breeze. I ran over with my fire extinguisher from my garage about 30 yards. The label says effective at 6ft but honestly it was about 4ft at best and I almost used the whole can. only about 1/8 left over for about 9ft'2 fire. It was effective but you should have two for sure. The rider had minor burns and lacerations and I performed first aid myself in the middle of my neighbors yard until his father drove him home.
You really should have brought in a specialist for this video. I am not one, but standard fire extinguisher protocol is the PASS procedure; Pull the pin Aim the nozzle, Squeeze the handle, Sweep the fire.
I don't know if anybody has already mentioned this. The first fire extinguisher the residue that is left afterwards is also a fertilizer for plants. It's the same stuff that they toss on forest fires, instead of having a negative or neutral effect on the wilderness it has a positive effect on it.
Just a little background info: The powder extinguisher uses an inhibitor. The reverse of a catalyst. Something that stops the reaction without taking part. It kills the flames but doesn't do anything about the heat. CO2 extinguishers take away the oxygen from the fire. Great indoors, not so much outdoors. Also, not much heat is taken away. Water takes the heat away from the fire. It takes a lot of heat to boil water, and this is taken from the flames and fuel. When indoors, the steam also contributes in taking away oxygen from the fire and cooling the smoke. Foam extinguishers (not even mentioned in this video) form a film layer on top of a liquid fuel, that prevents vapors from escaping. It is the vapors that burn, not the liquid itself. For this type of fire, a foam extinguisher is best. For solid fuels, foam will get into pores in the solid and block that off from the environment.
I my opinion the best option for a house owner is a foam fire extinguisher with a additiv that is meant for burning fat and oils. But if you have a gas stove you should get a special fire extinguisher for that too of course.so basically a A ,B and F but it may differ since I live in germany this is what I was tought though by my dad who is in the firebrigade with 2 silver strips so has been tought which fireproofing classes for floors have to be in which house etc.

Yeaa i agree with your opinion and for most scenario you cannot go to far away from the fire in my experience
You should have tried one of those fire extinguisher balls. It uses mono-ammonium phosphate(IIRC) but it's in a ball form with a thin plastic coating. When it reaches more than 170F(maybe C??) the plastic softens and the MAP "explodes" and puts the fire out. It puts a LOT of it in the fire all at once so the fire has a lot better chance of going out no matter how big it is. Also, the CO2 didn't work because you need to use that indoors; the wind was blowing most of it away.
According to this they have a small explosive charge of some sort inside.

1: The abc dry chemical extinguisher should’ve been closer and the agent should be swept side to side to get the most out of the extinguisher.
2: co2 should pretty much only be used inside where there is no wind. It’s much less effective outside.
3: co2 Is actually not a great agent. That 5 lb. co2 extinguisher has the same rating as the dry chemical of half the size.
4: co2 is a clean agent which is optimal for performance fire tricks, but it does not actually provide any significant cooling to the fire or person injured. Foam and water are really the only extinguishers that provide real cooling.
5: a fire extinguisher with a hose is much more effective than a smaller extinguisher with a nozzle. It helps the user sweep the agent
6: the fire spray should never replace an extinguisher, in fact I would not recommend it at all.
I’m glad this video was made tho because there is lots to learn and informing people about extinguishers is important
And the C02 is really only used for electrical fires, as it doesn't corrode the internal components like the Dry Chemical does. Nor does it create a mess less clean up in say an office space.
@@williamwrigley3475 exactly. Another thing to know is that most electrical fires turn into class A fires once the power is turned off. Burning wires and electrical housings are usually plastic, a class a material
I personaly always carry some fire spray because just for some safety when go solo camping and i agree not recommend that for all fire type like they do in some ads they show
@@MJTVideos plus one to that.
In Australia (as mentioned in tiny writing), we have A, B, C, D, E and F classes being Combustible materials, liquids, gases, metals, electrical and fat fires respectively.
All your points are, well, on point.
I'll just expand it a bit.
Every extinguisher has different positives and negatives.
Water for example is only really good for class A fires, but for strictly class A fires it's the most effective both in extinguishing the fire and in its cost to "replace".
Just unscrew it, fill with water (9 litres of water for a 9kg extinguisher) and use a car air compressor to pump it up to 90-100psi.
Also great for water fights and I know of one person who uses it to clean his 4wd windscreen after hitting the mud.
CO2 is the least damaging.
It's primary method is displacing oxygen, but it does have some cooling effect.
But it spreads out quickly and is VERY affected by any wind.
It could have been successful, if it was used closer.
Dry chemical are non-toxic, but do act as an irritant and medical intervention may be needed. As mentioned it's very corrosive, but can be washed away with copious amounts of water.
It also tastes pretty bad (I may have used one or two over the years).
The instructions say aim at the base, but are in my professional opinion wrong.
Rapid sweeping from top to bottom works better.
If aimed at the base, you risk splashing the fuel which creates more surface area to burn and can even splash back onto you (also personal experience with that).
A few extinguishers were not mentioned, so here they are.
Halon. The BEST extinguisher ever, only slightly illegal to own and use due to its severe ozone depleting properties.
However, it is still legal to use in some situations, aviation being one of them.
Nothing else with the same cleanliness and effectiveness in such a lightweight package has been developed yet.
Halocarbon is the "replacement" for halon, just not as good yet (at putting out the fire, it's much more environmentally friendly).
Wet chemical extinguishers may be found in commercial kitchens where fat fires (class f or k depending on country) are expected.
Foam extinguishers are actually the best for class B (liquid) fires.
It smothers, blocking access to oxygen, while also cooling.
It's also self repairing assuming a flat surface or contained enclosure and you deploy enough foam to completely cover the area.
You can even aim at just one spot and let the foam spread out over the flammable liquid.
Bonus facts.
If you can't aim at the fire with a dry chem, you can "bounce" it off walls, ceilings etc.
Liquid fires can be controlled and extinguished with water.
It takes skill and patience to do it and a very fine mist of water works best.
A water extinguisher is the worst choice and may not have enough water to do the job, but I'd still use one if it was the only type available.
Electrical fires cease to be electrical fires if you turn the electricity off.
The main difference is the sparking is a continuous source of ignition and electrically conductive mediums like water and foam risk electrocution.
Water CAN be used, but you need to ensure a broken stream so the electricity doesn't have a path back to you.
Aim high and lob it on.
* I'm an ex-firefighter, some techniques require training before attempting.
Do so at your own risk.
Why wouldn’t you recommend fire spray? Like obviously I wouldn’t trust it over an actual extinguisher but it looks like it does a good job in the video
As someone that gives fire extinguisher training as a career, i will be using this video in future for examples of what not to do. Great work lads.
What fire extinguishers do you recommend for home use
@@annecyleI would recommend a 10lb abc dry chemical extinguisher with a hose and nozzle for the kitchen. It’s also probably a good idea to have another extinguisher somewhere else around the house so you can get to it if the kitchen is blocked off. The same kind is fine.
I had yearly fire extinguisher training when I worked at a chemical factory. We used toluene in a 4x6 tray. You start at the base but you must sweep quickly as you progress forward. You had to be careful of flashback too. The heat was intense. 🔥 Something I will never forget.
Brian it's okay I'm a professional. Also Brian: I should where flip flops today
He always wears the flip flops when steel toed boots would work better. He's that much of a badass.
@@AsAboveISoBelow He probably wears steel toe boots to the beach; no sand that way.
He wore shoes when trying ways to barricade a door for a bit, but sticks with flip flops when actually needs toe protection, lol
Jason: "I don't know what that means, but I'm in! One of my favorite sentences, 'a lot of fire.' "
Truer words were never spoke
“Safety Sandals”
Firemen are taught to always "backhaul" a small fire once it is put out. Basically, you use a hoe or rake to bring any embers or hot spots to the surface. If it reignites, you re-extinguish.
Love how Corey is just the resident adult to the inexperienced boy scouts of Jason and Brian. Standing in the back waiting for something to go wrong so he can take their Fireman chit
You forgot to mention the PASS method.
Pull (the pin)
Aim
Squeeze (the handle)
Sweep (sweeping motion)
Actually, there's another step.
Test.
Before approaching the fire, let off a very short test burst.
This does several things. It proves it works before you get close (pressure gauges can fail, pipes / hoses blocked etc), shows your range and the effects of any wind.
I've been in too many safety meetings and I'm pretty sure it's right on the damn thing.
@@jacobyspurnger8488 your "qualified" instructors may not have taught you to test, but mine did.
Here's a little video of me at work.
(notes: Smokes not an issue due to wearing SCBA. We had the farmers permission to use class A foam so close to his irrigation channels, it's the end of the line for the water flow so no issues with public waterways, harming fish etc.)
Well P.A.S.S. me the grenade mate.

I’m predicting it now, a second degree burn at least just judging by the thumbnail. Brian is probably going to be the one to get it.
nope
brian is a professional it’ll be fine
This is one of the rare times one of them actually knows what they're talking about
A thing to mention about the fire blanket. A: dont throw it on the fire. That will feed it oxygen and make it worse. B: when the blanket is on patt it down by "stroking" it, if you patt it it might yet again feed it oxygen and or still be alive underneath, so work around it by "stroking it out".
Oh yeah baby, stroke that hotspot bubba!
@@swaghettimemeballs4420 I was expecting this. xD
and you leave it on till the combustible material cools down
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 correct and then peel it of so that oxygen doesn't rush in again and start it up a new
@@fredrik45mc if the combustible material has cooled down you dont have to worry about re-ignition of the fire even if there is oxygen. for materials that can spontaneously combust that is a different story
We need a plushie of Jason being a concerned fire-resistant ghost
When I was a teenager, my truck caught on fire (I was a Texan then). It happened while I was driving down the road. I pulled off and into a shopping center. Parked in front of a restaurant that looked open but had a nice wide-open area of the parking lot. I ran inside, asked them to call the fire department, and took their fire extinguisher off the wall on my way back out. I think because I also worked in a restaurant, I must have instinctively known that there would be a fire extinguisher there.
I got back out to the truck and started spraying it down. Shortly after I got started, the fire department showed up and also started spraying it down with their own fire extinguisher. We did get it put out, and there was not much outer cosmetic damage.
The truck was damaged though. Wiring under the hood was toasted, and the plastic box that was my AC looked like a forgotten candle. Inside, the carpet was melted and a lot of stuff inside the dash melted as well. The top of the dash cracked and looked like it belonged to a car from the 70s. Amazingly, I was able to start it and drive it home.
I could rewire the truck. I could replace the damaged parts of the dash. I could replace the carpet. The AC was out of my teenage price range, but I could start hitting junkyards until I found a replacement.
What I absolutely could not do, was get that acrid smell of the monoammonium phosphate out of the truck. Luckily, several months later, someone cut me off and totaled it. Relevant to this group, I am pretty sure they were trying to perform some kind of "forced accident" scam on me.
I keep BC fire extinguishers in my vehicles for this reason. If you could smell chemical and it was acrid, you can safely assume the high temperature of the fire reacted the monoammonium phosphate powder into lingering phosphoric acid that dodged your cleanup efforts and was eventually going to chew rust holes into whatever steel parts survived and cause increasingly severe electrical gremlin issues as wire and solder gets corroded away as well. The guy that totaled you saved you a hefty chunk of money on electrical and rust repair bills.
@@Ech0Sierraexactly this!! Regular BC or purple K for a vehicle. Amerex doesn’t make regular BC extinguishers anymore, purple K replaces the need for that. If it’s a real high value car where powder is unacceptable, go with Halotron 1.
Only when fire is involved Brian magically knows everything and becomes a professional
Magically? Or is it just years of experience?
To be fair, he has been doing fire eating for a long time, and im sure he learned from his mistakes in the past. Knowing fire safety is important while doing fire tricks, including how to put them out lol
Also when using a extinguisher remember you're not using it again so start and don't stop until it's empty. Go overkill and be safe.
Brian stopped mid way and let the fire build up again before continuing to extinguish it, making it harder for himself and running out of co² before it was extinguished.
1) if a shipmate were to spontaneously combust we referred to him as a "screaming alpha fire", B) a CO2 extinguisher is the only one that can cool your beer. Awesome video
Just light off halon in the comparment. He'll be fine.
@@jaredpalmer3517 🔥🔥🔥🤣😂🤣☠☠
I love how Brian quite literally throws the script in the fire
„look at me I'm a fireproof ghost"
Fire extinguisher tech here, The “C” on the ABC extinguishers means its non-conductive.
I like how Brian is telling people to be careful and stuff but he’s wearing sandals
The EZ Fire Spray is really nice to keep in the kitchen by the stove. Especially for those situations where there is a fire, but it's not really big enough to warrant using a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Like if some paper towels or some grease falls in the burner, things like that.
What about a wet chemical fire extinguisher?
@@JonathanGillies the problem with those is the clean-up.
I mean same with the EZ fire spray. But they are seperate beasts
Omg the chemical fire extinguisher story was scary. I remember the function of fire extinguishers for putting out chemical fires being described in my high school chemistry class. They're designed to work best in enclosed spaces and after everyone evacuates you fire it into the room from the door way then exit and close the door while it smothers the fire.
my friend got drunk and sprayed it all over our house, it was a bitch to try and clean up.
The older Brian gets the more of a mad scientist he becomes
"Brian is trained in fire safety" They say as he walks into a pit with an active fire still wearing god damn flip flops
*DISCLAIMER:* Do NOT use any part of any pine tree on a fire meant for indoor use. There is an incredible amount of harsh smoke that comes from burning pine, due to the sap.
Guessing you or someone you know made this mistake once lol
Love your shoes, Brian! I had no idea they made fire proof flip-flops that protect the entire foot!
This proves that there is a big difference between growing old, and growing up.
There is probably a fire department seeing this and going “what the hell”
Yeah they clearly have no idea what they're doing with those extinguishers. You're not supposed to spray them from 20 yards away.
Also the CO2 extinguisher was clearly not full.
this is a legit helpful video. also there are "grenades" that are fire extinguishers. its a ball that once it takes on enough heat it goes off like a bomb and puts out the fire, super neat product and I definitely wanna see it on this channel
Because when I think of fire fighting gear the first thing I think of is "flips plops".
Brian: super professional and safe with the fire
Also Brian: hmm yes flip flops
In a fire fighting video for the home, made by the local fire brigade, they showed how to correctly shut down a pan filled with burning oil.
1. Turn off gas/power
2. Put lid on pan
3. Wait till pan has cooled down
Then they showed the NO NO NO method of trying *water* to extinguish a grease/oil fire.
The fireman had a full protective suit on with breathing mask and he was literally holding the cup of water on a ten foot pole, then put the water in the burning pan.
The result was the most terrible but also somehow beautiful flamethrower effect.
I'm a fire extinguisher technician in California, and I can tell you that a C class fire extinguisher means that the extinguishing agent inside the fire extinguisher is non-electrically conductive, and therefore is safe to use on a fire where a live circuit may be present. There is a kind of fire extinguisher called a Loaded-Stream fire extinguisher, which just has water in it. If you were to use that on a C class fire, it could cause you serious harm depending on the situation. But your standard red bottle fire extinguisher is non-conductive.
If you are a "fire extinguisher technician" anywhere and are refilling "loaded stream" extinguishers with plain water you need to be fired and go back to whatever training class you might have taken.
EZ fire spray is basically a solution of water and potassium lactate, with nitrogen or CO2 as the propellant.
Potassium lactate is the potassium salt of lactic acid. The same thing found in cheese, spoiled milk, and in your muscles when you exercise really hard. Similar fire sprays may contain potassium acetate instead. Potassium lactate acts as a surfactant, and when sprayed out of the bottle with a propellant, creates an incredibly fine mist of water droplets. Much finer than straight water + propellant could produce. Water is extremely good at absorbing heat, and it takes a lot of heat to turn water into steam (in scientific terms, water has a high latent heat of vaporization, and high specific heat capacity).
So, the fire is very quickly covered with a very fine mist of water droplets, which cools the fire down to the point it can no longer sustain combustion. The very fine mist of the fire spray increases the surface area of the water droplets and makes it more efficiently and quickly absorb heat.
Fun fact: This fire spray technology was first produced as US military technology in the late 1990's to replace halon extinguishing systems in military vehicles.
Corey the underappreciated. The only grownup on set, he needs more screen time and equal billing. I'm cheering for you buddy! Class these guys up a bit!
In the Navy we had AFFF for gas or oil fires. And had a halon system for electrical fires in extreme cases only.
Yeah, pretty sure they're doing away with halon, not super sure what they're replacing it with though tbh
@@weeb3244 not surprised. That stuff is highly corrosive if i remember right.
Brian wanting words back just makes me think of part of The Phantom Tollbooth.
If you use a fire blanket (they´re usally made from fiberglass, by the way) to put out a fire on the ground, best drag it over the fire with two people holding it at adjacent corners. When you lift it again better peel it back, sorta like a blanket before you crawl under it. When you just lift it, ther´s a good chance that some flames flash up with the air stream that follows the blanket´s contour, pretty much right onto where your hand is.
I am sending this to my company safety guy right now. He LOVES stuff like this!
The best fire extinguisher is one containing Halon 1301, although they aren’t really produced anymore due to environmental factors affecting the ozone layer of our atmosphere. You’d only see them on aircraft though.
Shoutout for EZ-Firespray. The little can that could!
The " i can't believe its not on fire" and the blanket are the ultimate wombo combo
In the UK our classification is slightly different to the us: A: wood paper and textiles.
B: flammable liquids,
C; gaseous fires with no explosion risk
F: cooking oil and fats.
D: magensum fires.
In the UK we have no classification for electrical fires but sometimes you'll see Class E but not compusary.
We know if a fire extinguisher is safe for electrical fires as you'll find a electrical zig zag logo on the extinguisher. Powder has no cooling affect hence why once it extinguished it can reignight compared to other fire extinguishers that has a inbuilt cooling effect. Also a fire blanket used to be also called an asbestos blanket as it is used to contain white asbestos. Now it's made of fiberglass. So if you hear someone saying asbestos blanket you know they mean a fire blanket. Also Powder can be used if you spill fuel to reduce the risk of ignition plus powder is used for rapid knockdown compared for other fires! I've used a powder extinguisher from 1991 and it still worked a few years back bit it stained our grass blue for days! It also stained my shoes! Some power extinguishers have blue or white power in.
"and suddenly we're a UA-cam video and we don't want to be on UA-cam."
Boy do I have some news for you
You are on UA-cam what do you mean?
Fire extinguishers are usually designed to give you an escape. Putting out fires is nice but the main priority is getting away and having proper processionals (such as a firefighter) put out the fire. Though it all depends on the circumstances
I love that the video is about fire safety and Bryan "the fire professional" is wearing what looks like synthetic flip flops. Thus not protecting his feet and even worse they could meld stuck to his feet.
Oh good lord, they're playing with fire... Welp, it was fun while it lasted. Is Bryce or Cory going to be the new host?
Cory looks like a dad just watching their children play
Professional Adult
At least once when I was working at a manufacturer, we had a mandatory lesson in the parking lot from the fire department on how to use a fire extinguisher. Pretty sure if you go to your local fire department they'd probably gladly show you.
Jason: " I thought you meant it was going to be a big explosion!"
Gasoline Fuming at the bottom of the pit: "Just give me a few minutes to build up here..."
i worked in a kitchen a long time ago. one day the dishwasher caught on fire. it was most definitely an electrical fire because i was walking by it and i saw the sparks before and during the fire. it turned out that the hose that supplied water to the dishwasher was what caught on fire. the hose full of water caught on fire from an electrical short.
"A lot of fire! One of my favorite sentences" -Jason Murphy, 2021
The reason why the CO2 fire extinguisher did not work at least in my opinion is that CO2 fire extinguishers require you to get closer to the fire for the CO2 to knock out the oxygen or the heat.
“We learned fire safety” says the man who’s been a professional fire eater for literal years.
Every time they say ‘science adjacent’ it just sounds like science and Jason
Glad I am not the only one that hears that.
I think theyve even made this joke
@@scientificbrony they have! They even made a graphic for it at least once!
@@dawnqwerty ah yes I remenber now
We've goofed. now their TOO afraid. Most of the extinguishers aren't designed to work at that distance.
Or in that situation; CO² works great indoors against A and C fires
“DO NOT DO THIS”
“Yeah guys make sure to do this in a big open space”
Okay... here’s the thing.
Fire extinguishers are not meant to actually fight large fires. They are made to try and prevent a small fire from becoming a large Fire. If the room is on fire, don’t try to put it out, the fire extinguisher is only there so you can put out the door and leave.
Every type of extinguisher has its own speciality. I would never use one of the powder extinguishers indoors because you’ll find that powder for years. But, if your car engine caught fire, it’s ideal since it covers everything. Foam extinguishers are usually the best all around types, except for professional kitchens and when there’s a lot of electrical devices. Never use a CO2 extinguisher to put out a person, because that gas is -40 degrees Celsius. Also, it’s dependent on gas, smothering the fire’s oxygen supply. That CO2 extinguisher might’ve been able to kill that fire... if there was no wind spreading the gas before it even reached the fire source. CO2 extinguishers are not to be used outside. I literally only saw them around in computer filled offices and such.
I hope that helped a little.
Video Idea: Repurpose the fire extinguisher for different uses e.g, spray paint cannon, pepper spray, flamethrower ;).
Not sure why my mind went to majority criminal uses but none the less would be interesting.

What's really funny is that all my midroll adds for this video where for tinder
Welcome to the internet where a Fire Safety demonstration can be done with sandals on. The Modern Rogue has it all!
Yeah, you guys just wanted a reason to use a fire extinguisher, lol.
Can't blame you though, looks fun.
I feel like there's 20 more minutes of footage that they shot afterwards just for their own enjoyment.
THING IS... you don't need fire to have a reason to use a fire extinguisher - if you're "lucky" and own one that's recalled! The mfr instructions to make them safe was to take them outside and use them!
We need a "Modern Rouge" makeup kit for women.
Should be themed by their different subjects. Desperate Defense eyeshadow palette seems like one I would buy
If a makeup company wants to collab I already have ideas. ;)

Not seeing it up here, so for anyone curious. There is a K class fire and fire extinguisher, it's a grease fire, and the extinguisher has an alkaline agent in the suppressant that turns some of the burning grease/oil into a soap like mixture to help kill the fire quickly.
This video was awesome guys! I loved how interested Jason seemed in learning everything Brian knew about fire, and I'm surprised by how well the last one worked! Great video guys!
Brian is weirdly cowardly about things like this, but is perfectly fine eating actual dissolved metals
That Ramen video is still the dumbest, most unsafe thing he's ever done.
Try the baking soda with water "life hack" extinguisher in a water bottle that's been going around for so long
If you have a recording studio, video studio, server closet or the like, check your fire extinguisher. Make sure you don't have a chemical one. It will eat the copper off the circuit boards and insurance usually won't cover it. I prefer CO2. There may be other types (like Halon - big bucks), but make sure it's electronic friendly.
I think the problem with the co2 exthinguiser is that its best used in close proximity and enclosed spaces. In open air far away the fire re-ignites itself very quickly as seen
"Safety" says the guy in sandals
Also you need to be a lot closer for the CO2 to work
Day 20 of reminding the Modern Rogue to do another radio video!
Here in Germany we have the classes:
A for Solids,
B for fluids,
C for gases,
D for metals and F for fats.
There are no electrical fires in germany lol
But still, on extinguishers there's an information if it is usable for E-fires
Also, the therm "Chemical fires" is a little misleading, every fire has to do with chemistry...
And finally, i dislike CO² in buildings, for they can suffocate you faster than the fire ever can
I'm glad they tested the EZ Spray. I have one in my kitchen and now I feel a lot more safe after seeing the results.
Seems worthy of a follow-up video covering some other alternatives like foam extinguishers and those little extinguishing powder 'bombs' that are basically just extinguisher grenades.
also what's in EZ Fire Spray to make it work???
Don't quote me but I believe it's a liquid halcyon or something similar at least.
Definitely some crispy hands.
Edit: I stand corrected.
It might actually be more fun for shows if you bust out a can of EZ Fire Spray. Imagine a fire goes out of control and some crazy busts out a can of hairspray and puts it out.
UK fire extinguishers are by colour. Red water, cream foam, Blue dry powder, Black CO2 and yellow wet chemical. Jason's idea of just throwing the fire extinguisher in is not that mad as i remember someone inventing a ball that you threw into a fire and the ball would explode spreading fire retardant. CO2 really is not good outdoors but if used in a room remember trying to breath CO2 does not work lol.
It would be interesting to see a remake of this with actual fire experts...
I mean Brian is an actual fire expert
@@Benzona He's an expert at playing with fire, not at extinguishing it.
So if I recall correctly, the UK - before the EU got involved - had blue extinguishers for water, black for CO2, red for foam, and something for powder (possibly yellow or white?).
Then the EU decided to have all of them red, and white text printed on them saying “water” or “CO2” etc.
I have to say, as a dyslexic - the colours made so much more sense. With adrenaline pumping, colours are much easier to process when reading is hard.
Maybe now #brexit...?
The top of the CO2 extinguishers are a different colour.
I used a "mono-ammonium phosphate powder" fire extinguisher on a motor bike YESTERDAY! A man was riding it and the gas tank exploded under his "area" and he bailed from the bike. The tank was on fire in the middle of the street and there was a light breeze. I ran over with my fire extinguisher from my garage about 30 yards. The label says effective at 6ft but honestly it was about 4ft at best and I almost used the whole can. only about 1/8 left over for about 9ft'2 fire. It was effective but you should have two for sure. The rider had minor burns and lacerations and I performed first aid myself in the middle of my neighbors yard until his father drove him home.
Nice work mate. Props to you for seizing the initiative.
You really should have brought in a specialist for this video. I am not one, but standard fire extinguisher protocol is the PASS procedure; Pull the pin Aim the nozzle, Squeeze the handle, Sweep the fire.
Greetings rogues from the future
-TMZC
You guys are treating the fire like it's radioactive material lmao wtf
I don't know if anybody has already mentioned this. The first fire extinguisher the residue that is left afterwards is also a fertilizer for plants. It's the same stuff that they toss on forest fires, instead of having a negative or neutral effect on the wilderness it has a positive effect on it.
Finally, the return of EZ fire spray. Brian mentioned it in another video and I'm sure he already had these at home.
5:08 So what you're saying Brian, is that it's gonna be Cloudy with a Chance of Fireballs????
You two are giving me Fire Marshall Bill vibes with this one.
Just a little background info:
The powder extinguisher uses an inhibitor. The reverse of a catalyst. Something that stops the reaction without taking part. It kills the flames but doesn't do anything about the heat.
CO2 extinguishers take away the oxygen from the fire. Great indoors, not so much outdoors. Also, not much heat is taken away.
Water takes the heat away from the fire. It takes a lot of heat to boil water, and this is taken from the flames and fuel. When indoors, the steam also contributes in taking away oxygen from the fire and cooling the smoke.
Foam extinguishers (not even mentioned in this video) form a film layer on top of a liquid fuel, that prevents vapors from escaping. It is the vapors that burn, not the liquid itself. For this type of fire, a foam extinguisher is best. For solid fuels, foam will get into pores in the solid and block that off from the environment.
I my opinion the best option for a house owner is a foam fire extinguisher with a additiv that is meant for burning fat and oils. But if you have a gas stove you should get a special fire extinguisher for that too of course.so basically a A ,B and F but it may differ since I live in germany this is what I was tought though by my dad who is in the firebrigade with 2 silver strips so has been tought which fireproofing classes for floors have to be in which house etc.
