Which fire extinguisher is used for grease fire?

The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), British Standards Institute (BSI) and European Normal (EN3) have developed and defined oil or grease fires as classification "K" (in the USA) and "F" (Europe) independent of the general class B category. This was born out of the recognition that cooking oils and grease (cooking media) produce extremely difficult fires to extinguish due to their high auto-ignition temperature and fast temperature acceleration. additionally, these hydrocarbon fuels have an inherent explosive reaction when water is applied as an extinguishing agent. Therefore, only a K-Rated extinguisher should be used to extinguish a cooking oil or grease fire in a residential kitchen or a restaurant.

Until now, K-Rated units were exclusively available in 6-Liter and 2½-gallon extinguishers with an average cost of between $150 to $350, and are cumbersome for individuals to use both on residential and commercial "K" fire applications. In the advent of the new FireStopper® Technology and Products the residential and commercial user can now acquire small (from approximately 7½- inches tall to 11½-inches tall K-rated and Listed, all fire class (A-B-C-D-K) effective and affordable extinguishers. This new class of extinguishers are "Green" Non-Toxic and Non-Irritant, liquid extinguisher are the quintessential industry changing products for the new millennium.
