I'm sure the morons think they have some real dirt with this. They don't. There have been at least three other fatal fires in Canada in recent weeks despite the absence of a grow. Most residential fires are caused by cooking appliances and I don't see them outlawing kitchens. I'm sure the idiots will use this to play politics, but it just further demonstrates the uselessness of the senate. They do not have the ability to stop or change the bill.

Do we not pay people really good money to test products for safety before they are allowed to be sold in Canada? Don't buy from China. I would pay a premium for 'made in Canada' and CSA approved.

Yes very good point Chris. I hate to sand your idea but some of this stuff is made in china parts and assembled here. Shady stuff in the supply chain.
One example....extension cords which many home grower have a few of. At the major box store try finding a really good cord. 90% of them ...crap. Are the name brands even made here....Noma? Or labeled here. Best to make your own from good cor and high end plug ends. Hard to trust where stuff come from.
Too many folks over load the equipment or setup.

Ya I certainly don't know the answer to my own Q...lol I'm not that up on the different classes of extinguisher. I need to look every time.
My limit info was that you need the C02 to remove the air from an electrical fire to put it out. I honestly don't know but i'm sure some guys here will educate me.
I do know for electrical panel C02 is the one they use.

These types of extinguishers are meant for electrically started fires.

Water Mist Fire Extinguishers
Water Mist Extinguishers discharge a very fine water spray, forming a “curtain of mist” and by removing the oxygen and its fuel source (free radicals) the fire calms and is extinguished. These fire extinguishers use E-Plus Pulsator to tackle nearly all fires quickly and effectively. Non-toxic and safe for discharge in highly populated areas, they can be used in art galleries, care homes, prisons, restaurants and plenty of other places!

Due to the use of demineralised water, water mist fire extinguishers are the most environmentally friendly mixed-risk extinguisher available and don’t cause harm to property or people. They have been tested and approved by BSI and LPCB on classes A & F fires and have passed the electrical conductivity test up to 35kv as proof of their quality. We offer 1, 3 and 6 litre capacities in an all-red finish to suit different requirements

Here what I think happens. The electrical insulation starts to burns. Which in turn starts the joist or whatever it's attached to to catch fire. Then you have a structure fire and no longer simply electrical.
Dry powder will cover you on all those things. Good choice and good info guys.....you may have saved somebody who see those units.
