Re: The scoop on Fire Extinguishers

FJoel... to answer your question about grounding the CO2 bottle... It's a bigger deal if you have a rubber or plastic "horn" like the standard CO2 extinguishers... You build up LOTS of static electricity when the dry CO2 blasts through the nozzle... It's enough to shock the "crap" out of you if it arc's... Not to mention, another "spark" near the fire...
Ahh that makes sense. Thanks.

I imagine CO2 extinguishers have something built in to prevent this? Insulated hand holds?
