A Safe Solution to a Leading Cause of Home Fires
If you want to protect your household from dangerous and all-too-common combustion fires, Home Guard is just what you need. Because standard dry chemical extinguishers lack the cooling properties needed to fight combustion fires, and because they have a low capacity for heat absorption, they are the wrong choice for many homes.

So, unlike standard dry-chemical extinguishers, Home Guard instantly extinguishes flames using advanced wetting properties and high heat absorption. And employing the same agent that fire departments use to tackle forest fires, the Home Guard spray has advanced cooling properties that inhibit flames from spreading or reigniting.

Proven effective, Kitchen Guard passes the 35-Kv conductivity of discharge test.

Fights Flames Without Making a Mess
If you've just experienced a combustion fire, the last thing you want to deal with is messy cleanup. Thankfully, Home Guard is expertly developed to tackle flames without creating the cloudy, chalky residue that standard dry-chemical extinguishers can leave behind.

With its clean-spraying, fast-acting formula, Home Guard's cleanup time is about as quick as the time it takes to suppress the fire.

Provides Greater Fire Penetration with Longer Spray Time
Home Guard's aerosol spray canister is designed to be easy enough for anyone to use to thoroughly and safely extinguish a combustion fire. Offering a long discharge, Home Guard allows you ample time to suppress flames. In fact, it will often put out a small fire in just one spray.

Meets KOFEIS Safety Requirements
An ideal addition to any home, Home Guard's formula meets KOFEIS 0108 safety requirements. Home Guard was successfully tested on common combustion fires involving trashcans, curtains, and cushions. It was also meets UL 711 requirements for electrical conductivity of spray to 35,000 volts.

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

By

This review is from: Shield Fire Protection Kitchen Guard Wet Chemical Fire Suppressant for Kitchen Cooking Oil and Grease Fires (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.

The only bad think I can say about this product is that it's not labeled like a fire extinguishing agent. At first glance, my wife though it was some upholstery treatment product. This product should have a better label indicating what the product is used for and in BIG BOLD letters...such as FIRE EXTINGUISHER. Is it that difficult ? The labeling will cause confusion when people get in that panicky mode and are looking for a fire extinguisher.

Hopefully I don't have to use this but I feel better knowing that it is here. It doesn't take up much room and it will be easy for anyone to use if necessary.
