Kidde Extinguisher Top Pick on ‘Today’ Show
Kidde’s 10B:C kitchen fire extinguisher came out on top in an unofficial test shown on NBC’s “Today” morning show recently.
Consumer Correspondent Janice Lieberman, working with the Worcester Fire Department at its training center in Massachusetts, tested various extinguishers’ performance on a kitchen grease fire - a common occurrence in the home. The show segment was based upon the results of a test conducted by America’s Test Kitchen and included the Kidde 10B:C extinguisher, the Home Hero and FirstAde 2000 extinguishers, and a fire blanket.
“More than 7 million viewers watch ‘Today’ each morning, and while this unofficial test shows the value and capability of our extinguisher in putting out a kitchen fire, most importantly, the segment helps to educate viewers about how extinguishers can help prevent loss of property or life,” said Chris Rovenstine, Director of Marketing and Sales for Kidde Residential & Commercial.
America's Test Kitchen is a half-hour cooking show distributed to public television stations in the United States and Canada that often test kitchen products for functionality and safety. The America's Test Kitchen results were published in the January 2010 issue of “Cooks Illustrated.” Kidde’s 10 B:C and the 1A-10B:C received “highly recommend” ratings in the original test.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that cooking fires are the leading cause of residential fires and fire injuries in America, and recommends homeowners place an extinguisher in the kitchen as additional protection. Kidde R&C offers a complete selection of fire extinguishers designed for different applications in many areas of the home.
