Did you know that nearly half of all residential fires start in the kitchen? Cooking accidents, heating appliances, and electrical malfunctions are the top culprits. But when a fire sparks, spraying water isn’t always the safest solution. In fact, using water on an electrical fire can have dangerous consequences.

That’s why every home should be equipped with a Class ABC fire extinguisher. This type of extinguisher is versatile, capable of handling fires involving solid materials, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment. Make sure you have one under your kitchen sink, in the laundry room, and in the garage to ensure you’re prepared for any emergency.
