How can the fire department know for sure ,especially when theres a huge apartment complex whther or not its real or false alarm? I know this sounds stupid but everytime they come here most times its a false alarm.How can they be sure though that it wasnt an actual fire? Is there something that they have that tells them? I see them come in but sometimes they come in for 5 seconds then say its false alarm.Is there something they check for this?

What size fire extinguishers do you need to put out a fire under the hood of a passenger car?

I’ve heard that the 1.5 lb systems are useless while the 5lb ones are bulky. What’s a reasonable size fire extinguisher to carry in a passenger car?

I believe that cars should carry type ‘B’ extinguishers. Any suggestion for makes and type of chemical to look for?
