COLD FIRE extinguishers
I was looking for some good fire extinguishers to keep in the coach. I have heard that dry powder ones will get in electronics and ruin them and the AAAF foam ones can cause cancer. I was looking at “Cold Fire” extinguishers and wondering if anybody has experience with them? I can find the web site but no place to buy them…
Thanks
Dave

Look in sources that provide fire extinguishers for planes.

We used to sell Cold Fire when we were in business. Absolutely fantastic/safe fire fighting material. It used to be the only approved fire extinguisher in Indy car racing pits and was used extensively in NHRA classes. I used to work at NHRA tracks and witnessed first hand how it quickly put out nitromethane fires.
Amazon sell both the 13 oz spray can and the concentrate.
I am not a huge fan of the spray cans. The best extinguisher would be a 1.5 or 2.5 gallon water fire extinguisher with the concentrate added to distilled water. If you go that route, I have the mixing instructions.
As a side note, I did my own testing with a local fire department and we put out major tire fires with one extinguisher and even put out a magnesium fire. When I was selling, it was not rated for magnesium, but they were working on certification.
