AUTO FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR FRIG
John Hennessey:
With all the safety issues with the Noldcold frig I'm wondering if we should have an automatic fire extinguisher system in the outside frig compartment. Has anybody installed one and what type and brand did you install?
Steve Jewell:
Hello John and Linda
I have been using an automatic fire extinguisher since my first frig fire in 1989. I like the fire fight SS30. Their web site is firefight1.com. You can try shopping around but I think the price is about $165.00 plus freight no matter who you buy it from.

I agree that the price is probably about the same, but an expert in RV fire extinguishers is http://www.macthefireguy.com/
Steve Jewell:
The fire guy does not show a fire extinguisher made for a frig with an automatic 165 degree head. The ones he shows have 280 degree heads made for engine compartments. He may have one but he does not show it on his website. (http://firefight1.com/prod_ss-30_z.html) This is the style you want - they also make one with a 90 degree head or with the head mounted on a hose depending where you need to locate it.

I also have the ss-30. In addition I installed a smoke detector in that compartment as a warning system. Hopefully it will wake us in time to get out if there is a fire.
