ABC Fire Extinguisher – Multi‑Purpose Dry Chemical Solution


What Is an ABC Fire Extinguisher?


An ABC Fire Extinguisher—also known as a Multi-Purpose Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher—is designed to tackle three main types of fires:

  • Class A: Fires involving common combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, and plastics.
  • Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids like petrol, oil, solvents, and grease.
  • Class C: Fires caused by live electrical equipment, such as wires, motors, and appliances.

The extinguisher uses monoammonium phosphate powder, which effectively suppresses fires by smothering flames and disrupting the chemical reaction—making it ideal for use in a wide variety of settings.


Where to Use & How to Maintain ABC Fire Extinguishers


  • Installation Areas: Install in fire-prone zones such as kitchens, garages, server rooms, workshops, and near exits.
  • Storage Recommendations: Store in cool, dry places within -40 °F to 120 °F; mount on walls or place in fire extinguisher cabinets.
  • Maintenance Guidelines:
    • Perform monthly visual checks for pressure, damage, or corrosion.
    • Get annual servicing by a certified technician.
    • Clean residue after use with a vacuum or mild cleaning solution.
