🧯 Types of Fire Extinguishers (And What They’re For)
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fire safety. Different fires require different types of extinguishers:
-
Class A: Paper, wood, cloth
-
Class B: Flammable liquids
-
Class C: Electrical equipment
-
Class D: Combustible metals
-
Class K: Commercial kitchens (grease fires)
Using the wrong one can make a fire worse or put your team at risk.
✅ The 2025 Fire Code Requirements
California law requires regular inspections of all extinguishers in commercial and industrial buildings. If you’re a business owner, you should:
-
✅ Have your extinguishers tagged & inspected annually
-
✅ Make sure your team knows how to operate them
-
✅ Keep units within 75 feet of any employee location
Ignoring these rules could result in fines — or worse, liability.
