ABC dry chemical covers ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires, which makes it the standard choice for most offices, retail spaces, and general commercial areas.
If a space doesn’t have a specific hazard like a commercial kitchen or sensitive electronics, ABC is usually the default recommendation covering the broadest range of realistic fire scenarios.
CO2 extinguishers leave no residue behind, which makes them the right call for server rooms, electrical panels, and anywhere sensitive equipment can’t tolerate the chemical residue an ABC unit leaves.
A dry chemical discharge in a server room can damage equipment that survives the fire itself. CO2 avoids that tradeoff, which is why it’s the standard recommendation for those specific spaces rather than a general substitute for ABC coverage.
Class K is built specifically for cooking oil and grease fires, and it’s required in addition to, not instead of, standard coverage in any space with commercial cooking equipment.
This is the one category that isn’t optional if your business involves cooking with oil. Restaurants, food trucks, and any commercial kitchen need this coverage regardless of what other extinguishers are already in the building.
We’ll assess your space and recommend the right type and size before anything’s ordered.
