occupancies could consist of offices, classrooms, mercantile shops and allied storage, light manufacturing,
research operations, auto showrooms, parking garages, workshop or support service areas of Light (Low)
Hazard occupancies, and warehouses containing Class I or Class II commodities.
(c) Extra (High) Hazard. Locations where the total amount of Class A combustibles and Class B flammables
are present, in storage, production use, and/or finished product over and above those expected and classed
as Ordinary (Moderate) Hazards. These occupancies could consist of woodworking, vehicle repair, aircraft
and boat servicing, individual product display showrooms, product convention center displays, storage and
manufacturing processes such as painting, dipping, coating, including flammable liquid handling. Also, included
in warehousing of, or in-process storage of other Class I and Class II commodities.
[California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, §565.2(a) through (e)] Selection by Hazard.
(a) Extinguishers shall be selected for the specific class or classes of hazards to be protected in accordance
with the following subdivisions (b), (c), (d) and (e).
(b) Extinguishers for protecting Class A hazards shall be selected from the following: Water-type,
halogenated agent types, multipurpose dry chemical and wet chemical type.
(c) Extinguishers for protection of Class B hazards shall be selected from the following: carbon dioxide, dry
chemical types, halogenated agent types and water-type and water chemical extinguishers rated for Class B
hazards.
(d) Extinguishers for protection of Class C hazards shall be selected from the following: carbon dioxide, dry
chemical types, halogenated agent types and water mist types rated for Class C. Carbon dioxide
extinguishers equipped with metal horns are not considered safe for use on fires in energized electrical
equipment and, therefore, are not classified for use on Class C hazards.
(e) Extinguishers and extinguishing agents for the protection of Class D hazards shall be of types approved
for use on the specific combustible metal hazard.
[California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, §566(a) through (f)] Application for Specific Hazards.
(a) Class B Fire Extinguishers for Pressurized Flammable Liquids and Pressurized Gas Fires. Fires of this nature
are considered to be a special hazard. Class B fire extinguishers containing agents other than dry chemical
are relatively ineffective on this type of hazard due to stream and agent characteristics. Selection of
extinguishers for this type of hazard shall be made on the basis of recommendations by manufacturers of this
specialized equipment. The system used to rate extinguishers on Class B fires (flammable liquids in depth) is
not applicable to these types of hazards. It has been determined that special nozzle design and rates of
agent application are required to cope with such hazards. Caution: It is undesirable to attempt to extinguish
this type of fire unless there is reasonable assurance that the source of fuel can be promptly shut off.
(b) Fire extinguishers provided for the protection of cooking appliances that use combustible cooking media
(vegetable or animal oils and fats) shall be listed and labeled Class K fires.
(c) Three-dimensional Class B Fires. A three-dimensional Class B fire involves Class B materials in motion such
as pouring, running or dripping flammable liquids and generally includes vertical as well as one or more
horizontal surfaces. Fires of this nature are considered to be a special hazard. Selection of extinguishers for
this type of hazard shall be made on the basis of recommendations by manufacturers of this specialized
equipment. The system used to rate extinguishers on Class B fires (flammable liquids in depth) is not directly
applicable to this type of hazard.
(d) Water Soluble Flammable Liquid Fires (Polar Solvents). Extinguishers used for the protection of water
soluble flammable liquids, such as alcohols, acetones, esters, ketones, etc., shall be selected in accordance
with Section 565.2. AFFF-type and FFFP-type fire extinguishers shall not be used for the protection of water
soluble flammable liquids, such as alcohols, acetone, esters, ketones, etc., unless specifically referenced on
the extinguisher nameplate.
(e) Electronic Equipment Fires. Extinguishers for the protection of delicate electronic equipment shall be
selected from the following: carbon dioxide type or a halogenated agent type, or a distilled water mist type
with a minimum Class A:C Rating.
(f) In patient care areas and sleeping rooms of health care facilities, fire extinguishers, including the agents
and expelling means, should be selected and utilized that would not be detrimental to patients and are
appropriate for the type of fire expected, such as distilled water mist type fire extinguishers with a minimum
2-A:C rating.
[California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, §567.8] Installation Temperatures. Water-type (water,
AFFF, FFFP) extinguishers shall not be installed in areas where temperatures are outside the range of 40°F to
120°F (4°C to 49°C). Other types shall not be installed in areas where temperatures are outside the range of
-40°F to 120°F (-40°C to 49°C). Fire extinguishers shall not be exposed to temperatures outside of the range
shown on the fire extinguisher label.
Exceptions:
1. Where fire extinguishers are installed in locations subject to temperatures outside these ranges, they shall
be of a type approved and listed for the temperature to which they are exposed, or they shall be placed in an
enclosure capable of maintaining the stipulated temperature range.
2. Fire extinguishers containing plain water only can be protected to temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) by
the addition of an antifreeze stipulated on the extinguisher nameplate. Calcium chloride solutions shall not

be used in stainless steel fire extinguishers.
3. Some fire extinguishers are approved or listed for use at temperatures as low as -65°F (-54°C).
[California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, §574.1] Frequency of Inspection. Fire extinguishers shall
be manually inspected when initially placed in service. Thereafter, extinguishers shall be manually inspected at
least monthly by the building owner, occupant or his/her authorized agent, or electronically monitored. Fire
extinguishers shall be inspected at more frequent intervals when circumstances require, as determined by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction. [California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Division 1, §574.2] Inspection
