medicine cabinet for the workshop with a fire extinguisher

[12bolts]

Novel gimmick idea but really only suitable for use maybe in a home bar, man shed setup. I for one wouldnt want that hanging on the wall in my shop. Too much chance someone would grab it in an emergency for the wrong reason.

....I flat out refused to allow the powder extinguishers in my shop. I'm not putting myself in the hospital from breathing that powder for anyone. .....

Frank you do know its just BiCarb Soda? The same stuff they use to buffer the pH in swimming pools. And for bath salts. And your wife probably uses it in her baking. It is non toxic. Breathing it wouldnt be healthy for you, but if you discharge it on a fire you wont be hanging around to inhale anyway will you?

Yes Phil, I agree with you 100%. Anyone who would grab a lettered first aid kit to fight a fire should not have them around. If my house or shop was on fire and the firefighters showed up wearing tutus and ballet slippers I most certainly would not let them in under any circumstances either. People who just grab at whatever to fight a fire should just do as the fire dept. would suggest and evacuate the premises and let someone who is either trained and in control do the firefighting.

I'm sure that Eloy did create this as a novelty and never had the intention of misrepresenting a firefighting device. The lettering on the device could not be larger and although it is in Spanish there doesn't seem to be any reason to think that he would be trying to import them anywhere other than his place. He did have a novel idea and it is what it is. I am genuinely pleased to know that you and a few others who might feel uncomfortable having a novelty such as this around will not be flinging one of these onto a fire in there home shops. There are many folks who have been known to just fling all sorts of **** onto fires and that would not always have good results. I do really care about your well being and am proud of you for knowing your limits and not undertaking the efforts it would require to fabricate something that would just make you feel uncomfortable anyways. I'm not sure it would be such a good idea to have your dog in the shop with you also. You know, in case a fire broke out, fling, fling. Heehe.

Eloy fabricated something he would enjoy at his place and thought he would share with us. Do You think that the different color scheme in Spain or the international RED CROSS symbol is meant to deceive or confuse? I don't understand why someone would need to project a negative thought to a positive accomplishment. Don't want one at your place, good for you and whoever.

Oh and tell your buddy Frank that BiCarb, Good for gas too, just sayin.RR
P.S. Remember Folks, in case of fire don't GRAB. "Run" HeeHeHe.
