Firefighter Tests Element Fire Extinguisher. DOES ELEMENT WORK?

Professional Firefighter independently tests Element fire extinguishers in a variety of different situations.

Hi everyone, I’m an active professional firefighter with over 18 years of service. I’m also an avid off-road enthusiast. I have been curious about Element Fire Extinguishers and wanted to test them out myself to see how they performed.
In this video I was joined by my fellow off roader friend Jason where we discuss all things firefighting and test out Element extinguishers on several different kinds of fires. We tried to cover a lot of stuff, so the video is long but really informative.
