04) How do I determine what size Fire Extinguishers I need for my home or business ?

This is only a guideline to help calculate the size of extinguishers needed in a “normal” hazard area, using only Class ABC extinguishers.  Please note ** this does not include any special or “higher” than normal hazard areas.  For special hazard areas, please contact our office.  We recommend that a certified technician should be contacted to ensure coverage is adequate.
