I tried to buy non-rechargeable fire extinguishers for my house and no one I could find sells them. Do they not sell them in Baja? Seems odd given the
shortage of fire departments!CJ - 5-28-2018 at 08:57 PM
You should be able to find one at a store that sells boating supplies such as Fer Mar in Loreto or that type of store John Harper - 5-29-2018 at 06:08 AM
Maybe they sell out the minute they come in?

I guess in a country where most houses are made of Adobe, Cement Block or Brick many do not burn down....I never have seen a seen a fire hydrant in
Mexico unlike the USA with one on every corner....carlosg - 5-29-2018 at 12:08 PM
I f you are near a Sams Club (La Paz,Cabo,Ensenada, Mexicali) Look for a Mikels 1 kg in the automotive section 249 mxn. They are rechargable but at
that price doesn´t really matter.
I´m in mainland Mex and just saw them in the Colima Sams. Not sure if they have them in the Baja stores but its worth checking.

Every kitchen should at least have a big box of baking soda to put out a grease or oil fire.
Empty as much baking soda that your hand will hold, then throw it at the fire in a sweeping motion.
Or a fire extinguisher if you have one.
Oil and grease fires are class B fires so,
DO NOT use water as water will explode and make it worse!!!!
Class A fires (combustibles) ( wood, paper, fabrics etc) are most effectively extinguished by use of water.
Make sure you have a good water source and a large diameter hose long enough to reach throughout your house. Maybe even one hose bib in front and one
in the rear.
And don't forget a working fire and carbon monoxide alarm as they are cheap and a worthwhile investment.
