Brand: MANXPOWER
Fire extinguishers are a crucial part of any fire safety plan, yet many myths and misconceptions still exist that can lead to poor decisions in times of emergency. At MANXPOWER, we believe that awareness saves lives. Let’s bust some of the most common fire extinguisher myths so you’re better equipped to protect your home, workplace, or facility.
Myth 1: All Fire Extinguishers Are the Same
Fact: Fire extinguishers are designed for different types of fires.
- MANXPOWER offers a range of extinguishers, including ABC Dry Powder, CO2, Foam, and Water-based extinguishers — each suited for specific fire classes (A, B, C, D, or electrical).
Tip: Know your environment and choose the right extinguisher accordingly.
Myth 2: Fire Extinguishers Don’t Expire
Fact: Fire extinguishers have a limited lifespan and require periodic servicing.
Even if not used, they can lose pressure or fail due to corrosion or damage.
With MANXPOWER, you get durable extinguishers with clear manufacturing and expiry dates, plus easy-to-follow servicing schedules.
Myth 3: You Only Need One Fire Extinguisher
Fact: One extinguisher may not be enough — especially in large buildings or areas with multiple fire risks.
Solution: For complete protection, place MANXPOWER fire extinguishers in key locations such as kitchens, electrical rooms, and corridors.
Myth 4: Anyone Can Use a Fire Extinguisher Without Training
Fact: Using a fire extinguisher properly requires basic training.
Remember the PASS method:
- Pull the pin
- Aim at the base
- Squeeze the handle
- Sweep side to side
MANXPOWER recommends regular fire safety drills and demonstrations for all workplaces.
Myth 5: Fire Extinguishers Are Only for Businesses
Fact: Fires can occur anywhere — even in homes, cars, and small shops.
A compact MANXPOWER extinguisher is ideal for kitchens, cars, or personal use, offering peace of mind and quick action in case of emergency.
Myth 6: If There’s a Fire, Use Any Extinguisher You Find
Fact: Using the wrong extinguisher can make a fire worse.
Example: Never use a water extinguisher on an electrical fire.
MANXPOWER extinguishers are clearly labeled with icons and instructions for the fire types they’re designed to combat.
