Hand, Portable, & Wheeled Fire Extinguisher Units of All Types
A crucial step in protecting your business or property from a fire is to have portable fire extinguishers nearby. At Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service, we have a variety of fire extinguishers for our customers to choose that can fit their specifics needs. Many people don't realize that each fire extinguisher has a class which indicates the type of fire it's intended for. Here is a breakdown of each class and which type of fire it's effective against:
- Class A - Ordinary combustibles such as cloth, wood, rubber, paper, and plastics.
- Class B - Flammable liquids and gases such as grease, gasoline and oil-based paints.
- Class C - Electrical equipment such as appliances or tools.
- Class D - Combustible metals such as titanium and magnesium.
- Class K - Cooking oil or fat like vegetable oil or animal oils.
If you don't want to stock up on multiple different fire extinguishers in order to cover all your bases, have no fear! Most fire extinguishers fit into multiple classes. For example, it's common to see a fire extinguisher labeled as Class A:B, this means it's effective against combustible materials, as well as flammable liquids. In many cases, business owners choose ABC fire extinguishers which can put out most fires that typically occur in a building.
It's important to know which type of fire extinguisher to use in any given situation, but it's just as important to ensure that your fire extinguishers are properly maintained and easily accessible in case of a fire emergency. You should also have your alarm system regularly inspected to help effectively detect fires before it's too late for your extinguisher to be effective.
