Video Transcript

The fire extinguishers in your facility should be appropriate for the hazards that are present.

Because ABC fire extinguishers can be used on all of the most common classes of fires, they are good for "general" locations. Regular dry chemical extinguishers are a good choice for vehicles and home kitchens.
