I would like to buy a fire extinguisher. What kind should I buy?

Any brand extinguisher is okay as long as it is tested and listed by Underwriter's Laboratories. The minimum size we require is a 2A10B:C. Extinguishers used in commercial applications must be sized to protect specific hazards. Contact the Fire Prevention Division at 733-4732 for more information.
