Fire Extinguisher Replacement in Red Bank

Having a fire extinguisher that doesn’t work is just as bad as, or worse than, not having one at all. That’s why it’s important to have your fire extinguishers replaced if they are ever damaged, cracked, dented, or rusty. A professional fire protection technician from Confires will inspect your fire extinguishers for any outward signs of damage to the fire extinguisher shell, hose and nozzle. If we find any, we will replace your extinguisher.

Classes of Fire Extinguisher

The first step to deciding what fire extinguisher you should buy is to decide which type would be best suited for your building’s needs. It is important to first recognize the four classes of fire:

  • Class A – ordinary combustibles (wood, cloth, paper, plastic, etc.)
  • Class B – flammable liquids (oil, gasoline, etc.)
  • Class C – electrical fires
  • Class D – flammable metals (sodium, titanium, magnesium, etc.)
  • Class K – commercial kitchen grease fire

Fire extinguishers usually have big letters on the sides that indicate the class of fire they are designed for. It is imperative that you choose the right type of extinguisher—for instance, you would never want to use a class A-only fire extinguisher (usually filled with water) on a class C electrical fire. In general, most business owners throughout Red Bank choose ABC fire extinguishers, which are suited to put out nearly any fire that normally occurs in an office or commercial building.

Types of Fire Extinguishers

The size of the fire extinguisher that you will need is dependent on the hazard class of your building. Fire extinguishers come in various sizes and the most common are 2.5, 5, and 10 pound. Our extinguisher technicians will evaluate your building layout and occupancy and recommend the most effective extinguisher for your building or equipment.

There are many technical aspects to consider when purchasing an extinguisher that the average layperson will not be able to consider without a lot of research. Our technicians are trained to assess your building and select the proper extinguisher for your specific application.

ABC Fire Extinguishers

ABC dry chemical fire extinguishers, also called multi-purpose fire extinguishers, use a specially fluidized and siliconized monoammonium phosphate dry chemical. Commonly purchased in office buildings, they are appropriate for most common types of fire, including wood, paper, and plastic fires, as well as flammable liquid and electrical fires. ABC fire extinguishers work by either melting on and smothering Class A fires or absorbing heat and breaking the chain reaction of Class B and C fires.

Purple K Fire Extinguishers

Often purchased for use by oil, gas, chemical, and utility companies, Purple K dry chemical fire extinguishers use a purple-colored siliconized potassium bicarbonate dry chemical that is electrically nonconductive and is extremely effective against Class B flammable liquid fires and Class C electrical fires.

CO2 Fire Extinguishers

Using a cloud of white carbon dioxide “snow,” CO2 fire extinguishers remove heat and quickly smother Class B and C fires without any messy residue. CO2 fire extinguishers quickly cool down flames and can reach and exterminate even hidden flames. CO2 fire extinguishers can be used safely on all electrical and electronic equipment with no risk of electric shock to the extinguisher operator or damage to devices. CO2 fire extinguishers are not recommended for use against Class A fires, as the speed of the discharge is likely to cause flaming materials to blow away, potentially spreading the flames.

Class K Fire Extinguishers

Designed to supplement a kitchen fire suppression system, Class K kitchen fire extinguishers contain the liquid fire suppressant and are designed to knock down flames, cool down grease, and form a vapor securing blanket to prevent further fire outbreaks. Class K fire extinguishers are usually purchased for food-service establishments such as restaurants, convenience stores, food courts, and cafeterias.

Cleanguard Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers

Cleanguard fire extinguishers contain DuPont FE-36, a chemical that is clean, electrically nonconductive, environmentally friendly, low in toxicity, and highly effective against Class A, B, and C fires. Non-magnetic Cleanguard fire extinguisher models designed for MRI rooms and operating rooms are available. Cleanguard fire extinguishers are often purchased to protect computer and data storage centers, control rooms, laboratories, and hospitals.
