Class B Fire Extinguishers

A class B fire extinguisher is for those fires that have a flammable liquid acting as the source of fuel. Common flammable liquids in class B fires include petrol, diesel, paints and paraffin, things you might most often find in more industrial settings or in garages.

We supply a range of class B extinguishers at Fire Safety Equipment so that you can protect your business and your staff should the worst happen. A class B fire is different to a standard fire, as the flammable liquid can be easily splashed or spread if you don’t use the right extinguisher.

What Is a Class B Fire?

Class B fires typically involve a liquid that is flammable. They are particularly hazardous because of how fast they can spread the intense heat that comes with them. Once they’ve caught fire, the liquid has the ability to quickly vaporise and mix with oxygen in the air, presenting an additional danger.

Since several fire extinguisher types can be used on a class B fire, there are a variety of agents within the class B extinguishers. This includes powder, foam and CO2, all of which can be used to smother the flammable liquid or restrict oxygen supply without spreading it further.
