Very smart idea. With all the lighting, fans, controllers, and other electric equipment you can never be too careful. Especially when you add water and high humidity to the mix. I keep an extinguisher just outside the grow room door, and another one in the grow room itself.
Well I know what I’m going to get my next trip to the store. Great safety tip!
I Too keep one handy make sure it is a class C.
great idea, I have them and now time to put it the room. Thank you for situational awareness.
Well I had a really bad scare the other day. I was shaving and all of a sudden smoke came rolling in to the bathroom. All’s I could think about was it’s the grow. Well it wasn’t, I had cooked bacon that morning and the grease was still in the pan but gelled at this point so I turn the burner on high to liquefy it so I can dump it. Well you guessed it I walked away. Well they say we learn best from our mistakes; we’ll I can tell you that won’t happen again. I look at it this way it’s better to loose your grow than your home.
Safety here 1st 100% , Also don’t cheap out on cords and use small gauge wire. I remember a few years back I think @Drinkslinger mentioned about a fan catching on fire. Would be a good thread for someone to start on safety pointers.
I have a big ole extinguisher outside my room by the door lol. I have 3 in the house 1 in kitchen 1 in by the grow room and one towards bk of house Incase we need to extinguish our way out the house. Good idea tho. I thought about finding the glass bomb kind and hang by a string above the lights if fire hits it it will burn string making the extinguisher drop and break extinguishing the flames. If u can find the extinguisher bombs like they had in the old days.
When I built my dedicated “room”, I used fire rated sheetrock and added fire suppression. Just to ease my mind.
