ABC extinguishers are versatile, handling fires involving ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment. But in many cases, a 5lb extinguisher just isn’t enough.

• Larger Coverage & Longer Discharge – A 10lb ABC extinguisher provides nearly double the firefighting capability of a 5lb unit, with a longer discharge time and greater reach.
• Better for High-Risk Areas – Businesses with warehouses, manufacturing equipment, or high fuel loads benefit from a larger extinguisher that can suppress a fire more effectively before it spreads.
• Code Compliance – Fire codes may require a 10lb unit in areas like mechanical rooms, large kitchens, or locations storing hazardous materials.

If your business involves grinding, cutting, or handling combustible metals like magnesium, aluminum, or titanium, an ABC extinguisher won’t help. Class D extinguishers are specifically designed for metal fires, smothering them safely without causing dangerous reactions.

Who Needs Class D?

• Machine shops
• Foundries
• Laboratories handling combustible metals
• Any business working with lithium-ion batteries

Why Class D?

• Ordinary extinguishers can make a metal fire worse by spreading flames or reacting with the burning material.
• Class D extinguishers use special agents to safely smother the fire and prevent reignition.

Grease fires are one of the most dangerous fire types. A standard ABC extinguisher isn’t designed to handle the high temperatures and re-ignition risks associated with cooking oils and fats.

Who Needs K-Class?

• Restaurants
• Food trucks
• Commercial kitchens
• Any facility with deep fryers or large cooking operations

How They Work:

• K-Class extinguishers release a fine mist that cools the fire and creates a protective barrier over the hot oils, preventing reignition.
• Unlike powder-based extinguishers, they won’t contaminate food preparation areas.

For environments where traditional extinguishers could cause damage or contamination, water-mist extinguishers are an excellent choice.

Ideal for:

• Hospitals & medical facilities
• Museums & libraries
• IT server rooms

Why Water-Mist?

• They are non-toxic and don’t leave residue.
• Effective on Class A fires (ordinary combustibles) and safe around electronics.
• Reduce the risk of electrical shock compared to standard water extinguishers.

Electrical fires pose unique challenges, and traditional extinguishers can damage delicate electronics. CO2 extinguishers are perfect for areas with sensitive equipment.

Ideal for:

• Server rooms & data centers
• Offices with a high volume of computers
• Laboratories & medical facilities
• Industrial facilities with electrical hazards

Why CO2?

• Leaves no residue—won’t damage electronics or sensitive machinery.
• Quickly suffocates electrical fires without causing additional hazards.
• Non-conductive and safe for energized equipment.
