I made mine. I have a relative that was a firefighter and serviced fire extinguishers for years. Plenty of parts laying around.

This looks like a good one and I've ordered from them before. Good company.

I forgot some of you guys are in Canada. I'm sure some are available in Canada through other retailers.

These type of sprinklers have been in Canada since 2009. Not many people bought them. The name was Flame Defender.

For smaller grows they make powder cans that go over stoves as well.

These can be found at most hardware stores. They are not big but I'm sure a few of them would work.

Who says growing in your house is unsafe? :confused:

Water works on almost every type fire if used properly.

I prefer the water with foam extinguishers.

You need to get fire extinguisher rated to be safe around electricity.
I'd hate spraying water Over a sea of indoor lighting..

Meh. Water and foam works.

The foam used works great on everything from electric to petroleum.

The only reason to not use water is because of the risk of shock not because it isn't capable of putting out electric fires.

They actually make water extinguishers for electric. They produce a very fine mist and reduce the chance of shock.

The person that setup mine was a 35 year military and DOD firefighter that ran a fire extinguisher business for 20 years. I trust them.

Yes, misting extinguishers should be fine.
I am purely talking from an electric safety perspective.

From 2010 one of my last few grows MMAR license.

The last photo was when the license was increased to 75ish plants. You can see the flame defender in the video and images.

I am in no way suggesting use of a hand held water extinguisher in electric fires. That is dangerous.

I didn't want to buy one. I trust this system and it will go off unmanned so no risk of shock.

In any other situation and even in this one for others, if buying, get an abc or c extinguisher.

You could get a GFCI breakers although not sure if there are still issues with those and digital ballasts.

One thing about running LED vs HID, it just feels a lot safer. Lower voltages and draw, less chance of overloading a circuit (although it could still be done of course). I think like Hippy said a lot of problems are caused by extension cords, cheap timers and other crap stuff from China with low quality. If anyone notices, 20 years ago a standard extension cord was 15Amps...now you are lucky if the "Heavy Duty" one is 12Amps....

I have a small grow area and its on a gfci outlet. For the reason of water and electric being near each other.

I run leds.

ground fault is so ya wont electrocute yourself around water, wont help with fire caused by lights or heaters.
cheaper to use a GFI plug than a breaker and there is only so much distance that can be used with the breaker.
A fire extinguishing plan should be key growin at home.

One of the biggest things I see is people saying “my breaker keeps tripping, so I put a bigger one in” not realizing that the wires in the wall or cords are not rated for bigger breakers. Typical household 15a breaker is rated at 1850w, and those circuits should only be run at 80% capacity. Any input sparky?, as I am not a Red Seal sparky. Most rooms in a house will share 1 15a circuit, besides the oven and dryer.
