Evolving cooking appliances have created a more severe fire hazard. Learn how Class K fire extinguishers offer improved fire control and be sure to replace your Class B fire extinguishers.
This document discusses the importance of portable fire extinguishers as part of a balanced fire protection plan. It notes that portable fire extinguishers are effective in putting out small fires 94% of the time within the initial two minutes. They are also cost effective and operate quickly. The document emphasizes that most fire deaths and property damage occur after a fire has progressed beyond the early stages, so portable fire extinguishers are crucial as a first line of defense until the fire department arrives. It provides instructions on how to properly use a fire extinguisher.
This document outlines a plan from the Fire Equipment Manufacturers' Association to improve fire safety. The association is located at 1300 Sumner Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio and their contact information is provided. They aim to save lives through fire safety efforts.

This document discusses revisions to NFPA 10 that mandate replacing outdated fire extinguishers. Specifically:
- Testing in the 1970s found novices had trouble operating extinguishers without discharge hoses, leading to design changes requiring hoses on larger extinguishers.
- The 2007 NFPA 10 edition requires removing stored pressure extinguishers made before October 1984, as they do not meet current standards.
- Extinguishers that cannot be properly serviced or maintained due to lack of manufacturer support must also be replaced.
The document provides guidance on selecting the appropriate type of fire extinguisher for different fire hazards. It lists several types of fire extinguishers - ABC dry chemical, BC dry chemical, clean agent, class K wet chemical, water, water mist, foam, and CO2 - and describes the types of areas they would be suitable for, such as offices, warehouses, cooking areas, computer rooms and automotive repair shops. It emphasizes that a fire extinguisher technician has properly installed extinguishers matched to the specific fire hazards present, so the closest one can easily be grabbed and used in an emergency.
The association advances fire protection standards and practices through balanced design, advocates for public safety in code processes, and provides top education opportunities and collateral. It represents manufacturers of fire hoses, standpipe and hose systems, pre-engineered fire suppression systems, and portable fire extinguishers that are used to manually apply water or extinguish fires when initially discovered to prevent further spreading and damage. All members are manufacturers dedicated to saving lives and protecting property through fire safety equipment.

- The UL 300 fire test standard was revised in 1994 to better reflect real-world fire risks from commercial cooking appliances, focusing on improving protection for fryers and other appliances.
- The changes resulted in a more difficult fire test, requiring on average 5 times more wet chemical agent to pass. Existing pre-1994 systems are not necessarily adequate to protect current high-efficiency appliances and vegetable shortening fuels.
- Systems must be upgraded to the current UL 300 standard if any appliances are changed or added, to ensure life safety. Dry chemical systems are not currently listed to UL 300.

There is much speculation about the average person’s ability to use a fire extinguisher effectively. This
speculation includes the ability of a novice user to adequately extinguish a fire with a fire extinguisher
without harming oneself or others.
This study employed a random sampling of the population to gather data that described and quantified
several aspects relating to use, technique, and safety. Participants were presented with an extinguisher
and asked to extinguish a controlled propane fire. The BullEx Intelligent Training System was used in this
study to simulate a Class A fire through a controlled propane system.
Codes and standards for Commercial Kitchen Pre-Engineered Fire Suppression Systems. Obsolete systems should be removed from service to ensure life safety.
This document discusses guidelines for removing obsolete fire extinguishers from service. It notes that federal regulations and codes require fire extinguishers to be listed and maintained according to manufacturer's instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness. Extinguishers from companies no longer in business or with parts no longer available should be removed from service, as should units that cannot be properly serviced or recharged according to listing. Keeping obsolete extinguishers in service raises liability issues and risks safety if not maintained properly.

STATEMENT ON CLASS K EXTINGUISHERS
Fire extinguishers for the protection of cooking media fires (vegetable or animal oils and
fats) traditionally required a minimum 40-B rated sodium bicarbonate or potassium
bicarbonate dry chemical extinguisher as specified for extra (high) hazard requirements of
Table 3-3.1 of NFPA 10. The evolution of high-efficiency cooking appliances and the
change to hotter-burning vegetable shortening has created a more severe fire hazard and has
prompted the creation of a new classification of fire, Class K. Testing by Underwriters
Laboratories has shown that wet chemical extinguishers with a K classification have several
times the extinguishing capability of a 40-B rated sodium bicarbonate or potassium
bicarbonate extinguisher in controlling cooking fires.
The Class K extinguisher offers improved fire control for this type of hazard by:
• Creating a foam blanket by saponifying the hot cooking oils.
• Cooling both the appliance and the hot cooking oils.
• Offering improved visibility during fire fighting.
• Minimizing splash hazard.
• Providing easier clean-up than when using dry chemical agents.
Accordingly, the Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association, Inc. [FEMA]
recommends that all Class B extinguishers used to protect cooking appliances/kitchens
be replaced by the owners with Class K extinguishers as soon as possible. The travel
distance of 30 feet as previously described in NFPA 10 is still recommended.
