Frequently Asked Question
A fire extinguisher is a portable fire-safety device used to control or extinguish a small fire at an early stage.
The requirement depends on the premises type, business activity, fire risk, building management rules, licensing conditions, and applicable authority requirements. Most business premises should assess their fire-safety needs before operating.
The suitable type depends on the fire risk. For example, an office, commercial kitchen, electrical area, workshop, warehouse, or factory may require different extinguisher types. A site review should be carried out first.
No. ABC Dry Powder is widely used for general risks, but it may not be the most suitable option for every hazard. Commercial kitchens, electrical areas, and specific industrial risks may require other extinguisher types.
A CO₂ fire extinguisher is commonly used for electrical equipment and certain flammable-liquid risks. Suitability depends on the actual premises risk and equipment.
A restaurant or commercial kitchen may require Wet Chemical protection where there is a cooking-oil or grease fire risk. The actual requirement should be reviewed based on the kitchen setup and applicable requirements.
