After spending over 50 hours researching fire extinguishers and talking to eight experts in the fire-safety industry, we think the best fire extinguisher for your home is the First Alert PRO5, which is readily available, affordable, and certified by the Underwriters Laboratories (now UL), a leading global safety-testing organization. The reality, though, is that choosing an extinguisher doesn’t have to be a complicated purchase—any UL-certified, similarly sized extinguisher from a quality manufacturer has the same firefighting ability.

First Alert PRO5, a fine extinguisher

First Alert PRO5

A fine extinguisher
Easy to handle and effective against all types of common fires, this First Alert model exceeds the minimum recommendations for the home and is easy to find.
We recommend
Amerex B402, almost identical, harder to find

Amerex B402

Almost identical, harder to find
This model has all of the same features and stats as our pick, but it isn’t as easy to find at brick-and-mortar retailers.
Another good choice
First Alert HOME1, a smaller extinguisher

First Alert HOME1

A smaller extinguisher
At half the capacity of our pick, this supplemental extinguisher works well for small, high-risk areas, and can combat all of the typical kinds of home fires.
Another good choice
Amerex B417, another small option

Amerex B417

Another small option
Another great complement for smaller, high-risk areas, this is a smaller version of our runner-up pick, but with the same UL rating as the First Alert HOME 1.
