Yes, you can, but it would violate the fire code and common sense.
Fire extinguishers should be stored and mounted where they are readily accessible on a boat, where they will not be damaged and where they can be inspected regularly.
Portable fire extinguishers under 40 pounds should be mounted so that the top is no more than 5 feet from the floor; those over 40 pounds, within 3 1/2 feet. The bottom must be at least 4 inches from the floor, unless the extinguisher is on wheels. NFPA 1.
Any candle can be mounted on a wall as long as it has the appropriate fitting. Candles are dangerous and need to be treated carefully so that they remain safe. It is important to make sure that the candle is mounted securely on the mount and it is an appropriate size for the candle holder.
No, not specifically. But if the Fork Truck came with a fire extinguisher attached as original equipment, it must be maintained unless the manufacturer approves a change. The local fire officials may require that a fire extinguisher of a specific class and rating be mounted on a forklift, and it must be inspected (every 30 days) and maintained annually like any other portable fire extinguisher. NFPA 505 (Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks [including forklifts]). If there is a fire extinguisher on the machine, the machine operator is required to be trained in its proper use.
B-I is the minimum US Coast Guard approval rating for extinguishers on powerboats. It corresponds to a UL Class 5-B:C, 2-pound, dry chemical extinguisher that has been properly packaged and mounted for USCG approvals as well. It could also mean a 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or a 7-quart foam extinguisher. What can you do with it? Well, a B-1 rated extinguisher is just the thing for putting out "flammable liquid" fires on boats, a B-1 or B-2 rated extinguisher being required by the Coast Guard to operate the vessel. If the gasoline or diesel fuel spills and catches fire, your extinguisher will probably be adequate to put it out, provided that you act promptly. The UL 5-B rating implies that a novice firefighter can extinguish 5 square feet of flaming liquid fuel using that extinguisher. The C rating means it is also approved for use on energized electrical fires, i.e., it is non-conductive.
Any portable fire extinguisher should be placed where it is visible and accessible. Many commercial kitchens are also required to have a built-in fire extinguisher over the cooking area and inside the exhaust hood, and a portable Type K fire extinguisher within 30 feet. A portable fire extinguisher should be located near an exit so that a person who chooses to stop and use the extinguisher can do so without becoming trapped by the fire. Like all portable fire extinguishers, the ones in the kitchen should be mounted with the bottom at least 4 inches above the floor and the top no more than 5 feet (60 inches) from the floor, unless they are over 40 pounds. In that case, they should be on wheels or mounted with the top no more than 3 ft (36 inches) from the floor. This information is from NFPA 1 Fire Code. Your local requirements may vary.
Portable fire extinguishers weighing 40 lbs or less must be mounted no less than 4 inches from the floor. Over 40 lbs is on wheels, sitting on the floor.
PWCs and boats up to 26 feet must carry at least one B-I fire extinguisher unless exempt (i.e., Class A or 1, open, outboard motor, not carrying passengers for hire, etc). A B-1 extinguisher may be a 2-pound dry chem, 4-pound CO2 or 6 quart foam, if properly labelled as USCG certified. Boats 26 to 40 feet must carry two B-I or one B-II. If there is a permanently installed fire extinguisher system only one B-I extinguisher is required. For vessels 40 to 65 feet, three B-I or one B-II and one B-I extinguishers are required. Vessels in this class with permanently installed fire extinguisher systems are required to carry two B-I or one B-II extinguishers. Vessels without combustible fuel onboard, no gasoline engine or no areas where vapors can be trapped are not required to carry a fire extinguisher.
