ABC Fire Extinguishers
ABC fire extinguishers are the most common and versatile type carried by B-Lann Equipment. These multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers are designed to suppress the three most frequent classes of fire:
- Class A (ordinary combustibles). Fires involving common materials such as wood, paper, cloth, trash, and plastics.
- Class B (flammable liquids). Fires involving flammable or combustible liquids like gasoline, kerosene, oil, grease, and paint.
- Class C (energized electrical equipment). Fires where the extinguishing agent is safe to use on live electrical equipment, such as wiring, appliances, and circuits.
Common Usage Situations
Because ABC extinguishers cover such a wide range of fuel types, they are the standard choice or general protection in nearly every setting where you need single, reliable solution:
- Commercial offices and retail stores. Used to address paper, plastic, and potential electrical fires.
- Residential buildings and multi-family complexes. Required for boiler rooms, common areas, and individual units to cover ordinary combustibles and electrical hazards.
