Keeps Small Fires from Growing
Tundra is a fire extinguishing spray that works immediately on contact to keep small fires from growing dangerously out of control. Give you and your family peace of mind by storing a can in the kitchen, near the grill, in your garage, and with your camping gear.

Thanks to its proprietary, wide-spray nozzle, the Tundra extinguishing agent quickly puts out fires by covering a surface area that is three times greater than what typical actuators cover. At the same time, an internal pouch isolates the pressure, so when the nozzle is pressed, only the contents are released. This prevents the propellant from spreading the fire and creating an even more dangerous situation.

Easier to Use than Traditional Fire Extinguishers
Tundra boasts a discharge time that is four times longer than traditional fire extinguishers. And thanks to its intuitive, patent-pending spray nozzle design, Tundra is much easier to use than a traditional extinguisher--it has no pins to unlock or levers to squeeze. Just point the nozzle at any orientation from a distance of three to four feet and spray.

And with a compact height of just 9.65 inches and weight of only 22 ounces, Tundra is a snap to store in cabinets or drawers, next to the fireplace, underneath the sink, or anywhere else you think you might need it.

Biodegradable Spray is Easy to Clean Up
Tundra spray is safe to use and easy to clean up--simply wipe off the spray with a damp cloth. Unlike traditional fire extinguisher chemicals that can cause permanent harm to sprayed areas, Tundra features a biodegradable formula that won't damage appliances, equipment, or counter surfaces. This special formula also spares you the hassle and expense of hazmat disposal.

What's in the Box
One can of AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray and manual.

Tundra has no pins to unlock or levers to squeeze, so it's much easier to use than a traditional extinguisher.

1.0 out of 5 stars It failed to perform!, January 31, 2009

This review is from: First Alert AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Spray (Tools & Home Improvement)

I would have rated this item NO stars but that option wasn't available. I purchased three of the First Alert Tundra fire suppressants; one for each car and one for the kitchen because they were small and simple to operate. Last night our fireplace pellet stove malfunctioned and spewed smoke and fire. I grabbed the First Alert Tundra and followed the simple directions carefully. It worked for about 3 seconds and then spit and stopped. Fortunately fire fighters from our fire department arrived and were able to contain the fire with only smoke damage. Today I tried the extinquisher outside and it just went "pfft". Nothing. Obviously I'll remove the extinquishers from our cars as they only provide a false sense of security. Don't waste precious time trying to get your Tundra to work. Call 911 instead and purchase a better fire extinquisher. It could be a matter of life or death. BTW the expiration date on the extinquishers is 04/24/10

This review is from: First Alert AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Spray (Tools & Home Improvement)

These things literally stopped a condo complex from burning down. Got up this morning at 5 a.m. and saw the front of a condo entryway across the parking lot engulfed in flames. My brother went outside, set off his car alarm, and started yelling to wake people up. I called 911. By the time I got outside, most of the neighbors were up... and just standing there staring. No one was doing a damn thing. So I ran back in and grabbed my 2 First Alert AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Spray, and handed one to my brother and said "Let's try to contain it!". He scoffed that "These are just little cans!", so I told him it was better than just watching. To be honest, I thought we were going to look like kids with toys trying to put out a well-established house fire with these, but whatever, right?

To my complete and utter amazement (I had bought these in case one of my sons started a small fire in the house cooking, or whatever), not only did these small extinguishers partially contain the fire, they completely extinguished it. Giving me time to run into the guy's house, shut off his circuit breakers, and get out his garden hose, turn it on, and completely extinguish the fire before the fire department showed up *15-20 minutes* after I called.

I've attached pictures of the fire's damage to the product. It could have been a lot worse.

I would recommend these in a HEARTBEAT. They performed beyond what I thought they would OR could. If you're on the fence thinking you need a "real" fire extinguisher, I can assure you - these are as real as any fire extinguisher ever, and a heck of a lot easier to use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy: Fire sprays, April 21, 2010

By

This review is from: First Alert AF400 Tundra Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Spray (Tools & Home Improvement)

Consumer Reports May 2010 assessment: We tested two aerosol fire sprays, the First Alert Tundra and the Shield Fire Protection Kitchen Guard, and have judged each as Don't Buy: Performance Problem. Unlike the extinguishers we tested, neither has a pressure indicator that shows whether the unit is ready for use. And the sprays are not intended to replace a standard extinguisher (NFPA 10 compliant) where required, as the makers say on the labels. The sprays sometimes made the grease fire in our tests flare up before they put it out. That could cause the fire to spread or prompt the user to stop the spray. We found that two of the 10 Tundra samples didn't properly discharge.
