This extinguisher is most suitable for ABC Class Fires. Used for fires involving wood, paper, plastic, flammable & combustible liquids but not cooking oils or fats, also can be used for flammable gases and electrical equipment (click info for details).

The type of extinguisher used is crucial to the type of fire attacked. The ABE class is a good all rounder (not suitable for cooking fires), ideal for the home. This unit can be used to protect the home from the inside as a fire front passes. This is a large size unit and is not a size everyone could handle. The 9kg can do a serious amount of work and can handle a large fire or a number of smaller fires.
