Four Sentry ABC fire extinguishers

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.
  • Warehouses and light manufacturing. Essential for protecting inventory, packing materials, and basic machinery. 
  • Schools and educational facilities. Placed throughout hallways, classrooms, and administrative areas. 
  • Automotive and vehicle maintenance areas. Effective against fuel, oil, and electrical fires.
