Home and workplace fires kill hundreds and injure thousands of residents and workers each year. Being properly prepared with fire safety accessories like fire/smoke alarms, escape devices, portable fire extinguishers and well thought out response plans should a fire occur are essential elements for fire safety protection.

Portable fire extinguishers apply various extinguishing agents that either cool burning fuel, displace or remove oxygen, or stop a chemical reaction from occurring so the fire cannot continue to burn. This is known as the Fire Triangle, and fire extinguishers work to extinguish fires by removing one or more of these elements.

Portable fire extinguishers contain a limited amount of fire extinguishing agent that is discharged in a short period of time. As such, they are intended to be used to control (until additional help arrives) or extinguish small or incipient stage fires. They also play a role to protect evacuation routes where smoke or burning materials could directly or indirectly block escape. Therefore, knowing when to fight a small fire with a portable fire extinguisher* or seek to escape is a critical decision to know in advance.

OnlineSafetyDepot.com offers a wide variety of portable fire extinguishers suited for use on Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class K fires.
