- Abstract
- Enclosed is a listing of the types of hand-portable fire extinguishers now available, with a description of the advantages and disadvantages inherent in their use. The Systems and Equipment Committee of the Federal Fire Council has made recommendations to serve as guidelines in the purchase and use of extinguishers by Government agenceis, in the hope that less desirable or duplicating models will be eliminated, and that the Federal Supply Service will be able to offer a family of extinguishers comprising the most effective models for a particular type hazard.
