I'm currently researching fire extinguishers to add to the back of our fridge. So far, I've only found 3 that may work:
- Proteng - which I'm not enthused with. It is a poly tube with a HALON type material (CAG)
- SS-30 Halon Extinguisher
- Fireboy System which is a marine system but is similar to the SS-30

Can you provide a link to some data showing all these failures?
