What Is a BC Fire Extinguisher?


A BC Fire Extinguisher is specifically designed to fight:

  • Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oil, paints, and solvents.
  • Class C: Fires caused by electrical equipment like circuit panels, motors, and appliances.

BC extinguishers typically use dry chemical powder (such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate) to smother the fire by separating fuel from oxygen and interrupting the combustion process.

Where to Use & How to Maintain BC Fire Extinguishers


  • Installation Areas: Ideal for garages, petrol pumps, laboratories, electrical rooms, and near machinery.
  • Storage Recommendations: Store in accessible areas with moderate temperature (not exposed to direct sunlight or moisture).
  • Maintenance Guidelines:
    • Inspect monthly for damage or pressure loss.
    • Schedule annual servicing with certified professionals.
    • After use, clean residue with a damp cloth and proper ventilation.
