Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170413-3F982-2147404422. Matched catalog product: Kidde Model 30CUA10. Source model text: 3lb fire extinguisher. Incident: On April 12, 2017, 2350hrs, there was a kitchen fire I investigated. The occupant of the residence attempted to use a Kidde 3lb disposable fire extinguisher and it failed to operate. The date stamp on the base of the extinguisher was "2015" The extinguisher was rated for ABC type fires and contained a number on the label of "A99014677". This model extinguisher appears to be the same type of a recall previously issued on extinguishers made up to 2014. I attempted to use the extinguisher to see if I could get it to operate and I was unable to squeeze the handle to activate the extinguisher. The pin had been pulled. I obtained photos of the extinguisher and it is currently being safeguarded by the property owner. As a result of the inoperability of the extinguisher, an occupant of the residence used water to attempt to extinguish a cooking oil fire and as a result spread the fire.
