First Alert Brk HOME2 Rechargeable Fire Extinguisher 2A 10BC

Product Description

The FIRST ALERT BRK HOME2 is a rechargeable dry-chemical fire extinguisher rated 2A:10BC by Underwriters Laboratories. It is designed to suppress common household fires involving wood, paper, and fabric (Class A), flammable liquids (Class B), and live electrical equipment (Class C). The unit weighs approximately 10.15 pounds and measures 15 inches in height with a 4.25-inch width, making it compact enough for wall-mount installation in kitchens, garages, utility rooms, and workshops. It is installed by building maintenance personnel, property managers, or licensed fire protection contractors.

The HOME2 is intended for residential and light-commercial applications where a single extinguisher must address multiple fire classes. Typical installation locations include kitchen areas, laundry rooms, attached garages, and home workshops where Class A combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical hazards coexist. The rechargeable design allows a certified fire protection professional to refill and recharge the unit after use or after a scheduled inspection discharge, reducing long-term replacement cost compared to disposable units.
