Just in case there ends up being a debate about the color of the extinguisher, I would offer this description from a checklist Jon sent me a few weeks back:

4210-21-856-9084 Extinguisher, fire, dry chem, hand type, 5 lb cap, cartridge discharged, low temp painted BLUE, w/hose and shut off nozzle, potassium bicarbonate powder.

Checklist was for a 5/4 ton, but all the smaller vehicles used the same 5 pound extinguisher.

From my understanding, the colour denoted the temperature they were good for.

The light blue were for colder temperatures while the red was for warmer temperatures.

I actually had a dark blue at one point, which for some odd reason i painted light blue. Same make model and temp rating as the light blue.

I have seen all in use by DND.

The red ones can be painted light blue if you wish to change the colour.

Some of them also had the CFR painted on them.

Is that the one in Fredericton? There is also a red one for sale outside of Comox that I just e-mailed the guy about.

I'll have a couple of the correct blue Ansul extinguishers at the OMVA swap meet on February 19 in Acton, Ontario. PM if you want to reserve one.
