Fire Extinguisher Fun

Had a fire in the backyard a few days ago, a visitor was grinding with the angle grinder and started a small grass fire... I wander off and grab first fire extinguisher ( dry powder ) I find, and pfftt... nothing no pressure... so undaunted I grab another and pttff same thing a bit of a splutter and then nothing. Not to be beaten, I grab fire extinguisher number 3 from the electronics shop, and splutter... nothing.... meantime Josh got a bucket of water and killed the fire..



So now, many $$$ later I have a brand spanking new 9kg ABE dry powder.. the score so far... three dead extinguishers.. go figure.. Lucky it wasn't a **real** fire..



So, here's the question, when was the last time YOU checked your fire extinguishers... :D
