About Fire Extinguishers
ABC, K-class, CO2, and clean-agent extinguishers, sized and quoted to NFPA 10.
Portable fire extinguishers are required by NFPA 10 in every commercial building, regardless of what other suppression systems are installed. Selection comes down to hazard class (A, B, C, D, K), required size based on the hazard rating, and maximum travel distance from any point in the protected area. We quote the standard sizes from Amerex, Kidde, and Ansul. Send the hazard class and the floor area you are covering and we will size the order against NFPA 10.

Fire Extinguishers: common questions
NFPA 10 sets minimum size based on hazard classification and required travel distance. A typical office needs 2A:10B:C extinguishers (5 lb ABC) within 75 ft of any point. Restaurants with deep fryers also require Class K extinguishers within 30 ft.
