Marine fire protection is not complete without the proper portable extinguishers, especially Kidde extinguishers.  Kidde extinguishers provide the ultimate marine fire protection for all lengths and types of boats that need portable extinguishers.  Portable extinguishers for marine fire protection can be either an ABC extinguisher using a monoammonium phosphate agent to extinguish paper, cloth and wood fires, or a BC fire extinguisher which expels sodium bicarbonate which is effective on electrical or gasoline and does not damage or fuse with metal surfaces.  Mariner Kidde extinguishers meet U.S. Coast Guard standards for hand portable extinguishers.
