First Alert GARAGE10 Garage Fire Extinguisher — 10 B:C, Red, Mount Kit
Product description
The First Alert GARAGE10 is a single, hand-portable extinguisher engineered for garage and workshop environments. It carries a UL 10 B:C rating and uses a sodium bicarbonate–based extinguishing agent formulated to suppress flammable liquid and electrical fires. Construction includes a durable metal head and a commercial-grade valve and trigger assembly for reliable discharge.
Safety and serviceability features include a metal pull pin secured with a tamper-evident safety seal, a corrosion-resistant, color-coded metal pressure gauge that’s easy to read, and a chemical- and waterproof label with clear operating instructions. The unit meets U.S. Coast Guard standards for marine use, making it suitable for small boats as well as land-based applications.
The package contains a wall-mount bracket and strap so the extinguisher can be stored securely where it’s quickly accessible — for example, near garage doors, in workshops, under sinks, or aboard a vessel. Its compact form factor is intended for quick response rather than extended fire fighting; routine gauge checks and periodic maintenance are recommended to ensure readiness.
Pros
- Effective on flammable liquid and electrical fires (10 B:C)
- Durable metal head and commercial-grade valve/trigger
- Comes with bracket and strap; marine-approved
Cons
- No A-class (wood/paper) water-equivalent rating
- Smaller capacity than larger extinguishers
- Requires regular pressure checks and maintenance
VerdictA dependable, compact extinguisher intended for garages, workshops, vehicles and small boats. It’s built with a metal head, commercial valve and trigger, and a corrosion-resistant metal gauge. Best for B and C class fires (flammable liquids and energized equipment); it’s handy, mounts easily, and is marine-approved, but it does not carry an A-class water-equivalent rating.

DL NB 5/5
Solid, compact and dependable
Good compact extinguisher — keeps a spot in the garage ready. Mount it by a door so you don’t have to go back inside. It’s a 10 B:C unit (no A rating), so it’s designed for liquids and electrical fires and is also rated for boat use.

Approved by firefighters, ideal for small boat
Firefighters checked it and confirmed it was the correct cylinder. They said replacement can be cheaper than refilling. Perfect for my small boat.

Arrived ready and intact
I rely on reviews, so I’ll be brief: it arrived as expected, looks solid, and was charged. Some others mentioned empties, but mine had protective cardboard positioning and was ready to use. Highly recommend.

Prepared for emergencies
Odd to review an extinguisher since I hope to never use it. Small unit, exactly what I expected — keeping it in my car just in case.
