H2O Fire Extinguisher: How do you obtain it?

Explanation:
Accessing this type of extinguisher is designed to be quick and simple: it’s secured in a bracket with a Velcro strap. To obtain it, you pull the Velcro strap and lift the extinguisher free from the bracket. This method lets you grab it fast without triggering any discharge or tampering with seals. Detaching a safety pin or breaking a plastic seal aren’t how you retrieve the unit; those steps relate to activation. Rotating the handle and pulling would initiate discharge, which isn’t how you obtain the extinguisher in the first place. The Velcro strap release is the intended, rapid access method.
