Safety Information:

Wet chemical extinguishers are one of the less well-known extinguisher types.

If you’re unsure what fire extinguisher for cooking oil is an appropriate choice for a commercial kitchen, then here’s the answer – wet chemical fire extinguishers are the only extinguishers recommended for use with cooking oil fires and are essential safety kits for professional kitchens.

Wet chemical fire extinguisher uses:

• Fires involving cooking oils and fats, such as lard, olive oil, butter and vegetable oil (‘class F’ fires)
• Fires involving flammable solids, such as paper, wood, and textiles (‘class A’ fires)

Some wet chemical fire extinguishers are also cleared for use on class B fires – those involving flammable liquids, such as petrol, diesel, and paint.  Check the label or ask your fire safety professional before using wet chemical extinguishers on this type of fire.

Do not use wet chemical fire extinguishers for:

• Fires involving flammable liquids (‘class B’ fires) UNLESS they are specifically cleared for this use
• Fires involving flammable gases, such as methane and butane (‘class C’ fires)
• Electrical fires
