Could this be used to extinguish someone who has caught on fire? For example, at the pump at a gas station?

Check with your local first responders but in my opinion a burning person is best suppressed by smothering. Throw a blanket, jacket, or other covering onto the burning person and get it tight. That will cut off oxygen and stifle the flames. Alternatively rolling over and over (ideally on gravel or sand) can sometimes help. The problem with applying the extinguisher to a burning person is (a) there's a lot of surface area to deal with, (b) you're unlikely to be able to douse the flames, and (c) the chemicals in the fire retardant may cause problems with subsequent healing. It's much better, therefore, to carry a fire blanket alongside the extinguisher in case you have to deal with a person on fire.

Im sure it has enough juice to extinguish a person as long as they arent engulfed in flames.

Is this a serious question? What's wrong with you? When was the last time you saw someone catch on fire at a the pump or gas station in general? Pull you head in....

No this pump is not designed for gasoline. It may damage the pump and/or cause an explosion.

Yes - we had one catch on fire on a rooftop unit. It was completely burned up and scorched the side of the heat pump. Luckily, the roof did not catch fire.- we believe there may be an issue with the unit being encased in plastic.

To anser this question, no it does not would be safe from a fire or child safe point of view.

Probably, but you'll have to make sure it is not too close to flammables. After all that is NOT what it was designed for! Safety, safety, safety!

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. &#128549;

I wouldn't think so. It's very low voltage. That being said, I wouldn't use it to pump any kind of flammable liquid.

I would say yes only if you have a very small and controlled fire, like a fire log. It is high enough off the ground not to cause issues, but, keep it covered when burning, and do not leave unattended.

it probably would if the fire is not a big one. The swimming pool would be empty fairly quickly. I think a nozzle would be a good idea.

It should pump gasoline well but I CANNOT recommend it. This pump uses an electric drill for power and electric drills produce sparks. Just look through the ventilation slits in the drill housing while the drill is running and you can see them easily. Fumes could be drawn into the drill and the results could be devastating! I would certainly NOT use it for gasoline.

I don't know why not. It functions like any gas stove. To meet fire codes in most places, the propane tank would need to be outside with a line coming through the wall

I would suggest you put your Zippo hand warmer out when you do not need to burn the fuel. Fuel is not cheap, I believe somewhere in the instructions are details on how to extinguish it correctly. If your instructions are missing ask again and I will fish mine out from hiding to more completely answer your question.

Take it to a Fire Extinguisher Service Company in your town and they will recharge an tag it. There are probably dozens of them if you live in a metro area. Cheers

yes, dont let the gentleman firefighter disturb you. The exact same effect you could reach with aluminum foil

I apologize my previous answer was not correct. I didn't have the item with me, but when I got home I realized that the top is made of plastic, so you cannot use this to heat up liquids over a fire.

Well, don't light it on fire. Its no different than handling gas and other combustibles.

Yes (flames), if the fire is large. Must be used outdoors. We feel pretty safe in terms of fire hazard as long as we use it outdoors. Hope this answers your query
