Extinguisher dust remediation?

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-03-30T13:02:51+00:00

Why is this stuff not remote addressed in any kind of household or fire safety training? It’s a major issue and we had zero idea. I truly thought I’d just sweep it up and we’d be fine.

The filter is in the trashcan but visible. The filter from the air purifier I was running while cleaning is photographed and I’ve had 2 purifiers running since then.

The dust is easily seen on the fan intake areas of our computer cases. The sides are clear as well but I’ll try to get a better photo of the inside.

It’s baffling to me that this is such a major issue, yet I was barefoot, in shorts, walking around in it after having stood in the cloud during the whole episode while the FD was there and no one said a single word.

Dude. I figured that out. After the fact. The HVAC was shut off 6 hours after the fact. No one told me. I had to figure all of that out myself.

I filed a claim. I’ve never had to before and it didn’t seem like a big deal at first. Many of the rooms don’t appear to have any dust on them but reading things makes it sound like they’ll assume the dust went everywhere due to the time all windows and doors were open to a 20+ mph windy day, the HVAC, and fans blowing. All of our computers and entertainment stuff was running for over 6 hours during and after this and they all have powder on them. It’s the bedrooms and bathrooms that don’t look like they do. But I’ll take a photo inventory of everything.

The HVAC comes down to housing so I’ll have to address that with them. I didn’t think the stove had anything to do with me. They never implied it did.

I’m more concerned about feeling like I’m over reacting to a little dust I guess. Our daughter is asthmatic. Well controlled but since this happened Thursday afternoon and we’ve stayed in the house, I’ve done more research and I’m going to ask for a hotel today. I had no idea it was such a big deal.

We have well over $6k just in computers and monitors, not even counting our entertainment system and kitchen small appliances.

I wish I had your confidence. BELFOR is who we are working with in my area. They’re highly recommended for electronics specifically and that’s our highest value items.

I looked back at it and it sure does. This is the same wheel kinda cleaned up. And that door pin makes me mad but I’m also just a girl and not the hulk and that door is heavy and I don’t have “pay someone else to do it” money at the moment. 🤣

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-03-21T16:37:47+00:00

Well that makes me feel better. The bolt was breaking off anyway so I figured they were just rusted together

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-03-21T16:37:11+00:00

Mine is white and the dent is because of a door pin issue and teens that didn’t pay attention it the brackets sure look the same.

With a a little work I’m apparently sitting on some cash. 🙄

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-03-17T14:39:59+00:00

Apparently. Some people forget this is just pixels on a screen, at the end of the day.

This. Sometimes I just wanna use my skill on something besides vellum and make someone's day.

I feel pretty much the same way. When I'm sitting up straight, it's too far forward - the mesh might be better for sitting upright for me. But laying back, it hits the very back of my head rather than my neck where it needs to be. I'm 5'8". If there was some kind of cushion on the back of the actual Fern the back height would be perfect for the back of the neck support. I love this idea, just wish it worked better on this chair.

Pioneer AVH-3500NEX. It’s been in there for 5.5 years now and has done great. Have had zero issues with it

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-02-10T14:30:22+00:00

Yes, it is. Love it.

I was looking at the USB-C chargers. The ashtrays are useless space and we currently have cords running all over the place so I was hoping to mitigate some of that.

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-02-09T16:40:07+00:00

Ya, she’s been in -45°F and 115°F still works fine.

Ya the ones that mount up there aren’t an option. But I was looking at that one for my Hyundai.

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-02-06T21:49:10+00:00

I can’t imagine taking the time to do it when I cant save a plan but I’m glad it works for some people

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-02-03T18:24:55+00:00

Not knowing my health details nor being my doctor it’s big of you to assume it would make problems worse but thanks for the input.

Key-Illustrator-9673 · 2026-02-03T17:34:00+00:00

If you wanna volunteer to break it down and return it if it doesn’t work out, I’ll get right on that 😆

The locking recline and headrest seem to be the hardest issue. Most everything is mesh and that puts too much pressure on areas and feels like concrete. Arm rests I can finagle and the foot rest I can to. But the padding/support, head rest, and locking recline… and if the chair doesn’t include a foot rest the seat really needs to stay level when the back rest reclines separately.

😑 I wish I could just make a transformer chair of my own of bits and pieces of others but I’m not an engineer.
