A small dry powder unit and a large trolley-mounted CO2 unit are priced very differently because they serve different fire risks.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the best fire extinguisher type for a Kenyan home?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Dry powder ABC is the standard choice for homes because it covers solids, liquids, and gas fires in one small unit. A secondary water extinguisher can supplement it for general Class A risk.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is CO2 or dry powder better for an office?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Dry powder covers more fire classes and suits general office risk. CO2 is better specifically near electrical panels and server rooms because it leaves no residue and is safe on live equipment.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How often should a fire extinguisher be serviced in Kenya?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Annual inspection is the minimum interval for all extinguisher types. Units with visible damage, broken seals, or low pressure gauge readings need servicing or replacement immediately, regardless of the last inspection date.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What extinguisher does a commercial kitchen need?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Commercial kitchens need a wet chemical extinguisher rated Class K for cooking oil fires. Dry powder or water units are not rated for this hazard and shouldn't be used as a substitute.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are foam extinguishers safe near electrical equipment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Foam extinguishers are conductive and unsafe near live electrical equipment.

Uncertified extinguishers can fail a fire safety inspection even if the type and capacity match your risk assessment.
