ABC Fire Extinguisher Rentals
ABC fire extinguishers provide multipurpose protection for several common types of fires. They are frequently used near temporary kitchens, concession areas, outdoor cooking stations, event operations and commercial equipment.
ABC extinguishers are designed for:
- Class A: Ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper and cloth
- Class B: Flammable liquids and gases
- Class C: Energized electrical equipment
Because ABC extinguishers cover several common hazards, they are frequently rented with propane grills, outdoor stoves, smokers and other temporary event equipment.
Class K Fire Extinguisher Rentals
Class K fire extinguishers are specifically designed for fires involving cooking oils, grease and fats used in commercial cooking appliances.
They are commonly used near:

- Temporary commercial kitchens
- Festival and concession cooking areas
- Catering operations using grease-producing appliances
