I have worked as a Captain on a full time department for 21 years and can tell you if you get a Halon fire extinguisher you would be wise.They remove all the oxygen in the atmosphere the fire is.They were originally made for computer rooms were you did not want any residue left.We can not get them refilled up here now because when they were set off they put the fire out quick but often also killed people in the fire area because of the oxygen deficent room. If you go to a local fire extinguisher company they may have some sitting around that could be purchased. Let them know it is for a garage that nobody works in on a regular basis. I have a 20 lb cannister hanging from my shop ceiling that is set to go off at 150 degrees. There is a new product also but I think I have heard it is in the development stage. i will ask Fire Prevention in the next day or 2 if there is anything else to take over from Halon.
