Overview
The First Alert EZ Fire Spray (AF400) is an aerosol alternative to a traditional extinguisher, discharging for about 32 seconds, roughly four times longer than a standard unit. It targets paper, fabric, wood, grease and electrical fires.
Instead of a lever-and-hose design, this is a point-and-spray aerosol can, which trades some raw output for ease of use. The wide spray pattern and biodegradable, nontoxic formula also mean less mess and toxicity to clean up afterward than a dry chemical extinguisher leaves behind.
- About 32 seconds of spray, four times a standard extinguisher
- Biodegradable, nontoxic formula wipes clean
- Wide nozzle for easier aim under pressure
- 3 year limited warranty, ETL rated
Who it's for
Good for kitchens, garages, boats, RVs and dorms where a lightweight, easy-to-grab can beats wrestling with a heavier canister. Less suited to anyone who wants the sustained output or larger-scale rating of a standard dry chemical extinguisher.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers report using this in real fires, not just testing it: a kitchen sink fire from spilled lighter fluid, a neighbor's truck fire, and a downed tree and transformer fire were all put out with it. Several call it easier to aim than a lever extinguisher, especially under panic. The one four-star reviewer had not yet used it on a fire and raised a logistics point common to RVs and boats: one can up front does not help if the fire starts at the other end, so they wanted a second unit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Simple point-and-spray operation, no lever to work under stress
- Long, roughly 32 second discharge time
- Nontoxic formula wipes up easily afterward
- Light enough to keep in a car, RV or boat
- Aerosol format is not rechargeable or refillable
- Lighter build than a dry chemical extinguisher for a larger fire
Performance notes
The aerosol delivers roughly 32 seconds of spray, about four times a standard extinguisher's discharge time, through a wide nozzle that reviewers describe as easier to aim than a lever-operated unit. The biodegradable, nontoxic formula wipes clean rather than leaving the corrosive residue typical of dry chemical agents.
