Alright, so I don't know if this is the right place to do this or not and this is a kind of weird request but here goes nothing. So I'm a public safety/life safety equipment collector, and fire extinguishers are a big part of it. If anyone has some old fire extinguishers they are looking to get rid of I'll take them! Please PM me for more info.

Any specific type that you're looking for? Depending on the propellant and the extinguishing agent shipping them can get rather expensive. Old school water cans aren't too bad and a completely discharged CO2 style usually isn't an issue. Anything dry chem always seems to be a hassle.

I don't know how far your Love of life saving equipment extends but I believe I have an old pair of MAST pants lying around somewhere completely unused. Those are an interesting piece of lifesaving history and I use the term lifesaving very loosely in this case.

I'm a fan of any extinguisher. I prefer water and CO2, and Amerex over most brands but any is fine. The MAST pants sound cool, but I live in a townhouse so I don't have much space. For larger things like that. I appreciate your response.
