A simple remedy/solution to grabbing a particular type of extinguisher is to make it less convenient, in other words, the fireman would have to reach a little further and in the process the thought may occur as to what flavor extinguisher is most appropriate. In the same vein, putting a dry chem type in the spot where the CO2 is would eliminate any thought or delay.

And why have most fire departments given up using high volume high pressure mist fog? According to a former Chief I knew (deceased) he bemoaned that all the time. He claimed it knocked down fires much quicker than dumping thousands of gallons of water...and without the flood damage. Am surprised that the environMENTALists haven't jumped on this firewagon.
