 REAL vs. FAKE
• There have been several fake buckeye
extinguishers found at Bagram.
• Most found are in groups with identical serial
numbers
• If you run across a “FAKE” extinguisher please
contact your local fire department immediately to
exchange for a REAL one.
• The Fake extinguishers are filled using air which
will actually help accelerate the fire
ALWAYS THINK SAFETY FIRST!!!
