Fire extinguishers are a first line of defense for small fires and an essential part of home and workplace safety. At Simpsonville Fire and Rescue, we recommend keeping the correct type of extinguisher for the hazards present—Class A for ordinary combustibles, B for flammable liquids, C for energized electrical equipment, and multi-purpose (ABC) for general protection. Mount extinguishers where they’re easily accessible, check pressure gauges monthly, inspect for damage, and replace or service units after any use.
