  • Does K&M Safety Solutions mount the fire extinguisher when I buy it?

    Yes, mounting is included when you purchase a fire extinguisher from K&M Safety Solutions. They secure the unit to the wall or bracket at your location so it is properly positioned and ready for use the moment they leave.
  • How often does a business fire extinguisher need to be inspected?

    NFPA 10 requires a visual inspection every 30 days and a professional annual inspection for business fire extinguishers. The annual inspection must be performed by a qualified technician and should be documented with a dated service tag attached to the unit.
  • Which type of fire extinguisher does a commercial kitchen in Chickasha need?

    A commercial kitchen requires a Class K extinguisher to handle fires involving cooking oils and fats, which burn at extremely high temperatures that ABC extinguishers are not rated to suppress. ABC extinguishers should still be placed throughout the rest of the building to cover ordinary combustibles, electrical hazards, and flammable liquids.
  • What is the difference between an ABC, a CO2, and a water fire extinguisher?

    An ABC extinguisher uses dry chemical to fight ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires, making it the most versatile choice for most spaces. A CO2 extinguisher displaces oxygen and leaves no residue, which makes it ideal for server rooms and electrical equipment. A water extinguisher is rated only for Class A fires like wood, paper, and cloth and should never be used on electrical or grease fires.
  • What types of fire extinguishers does K&M Safety Solutions carry?

    K&M Safety Solutions carries ABC dry chemical, Class K, water, and CO2 fire extinguishers. That range covers the needs of most residential, commercial, and food-service properties in the Chickasha area.
  • Can K&M Safety Solutions service or recharge a fire extinguisher I already own?

    K&M Safety Solutions provides safety equipment services in Chickasha, so reaching out to them directly is the fastest way to confirm whether your specific extinguisher model can be serviced or recharged rather than replaced.
  • Is a fire extinguisher required by law for businesses in Oklahoma?

    Yes, Oklahoma state fire codes and OSHA standards generally require businesses to have portable fire extinguishers appropriate for the hazards present. The specific type, quantity, and placement depend on your building size, occupancy type, and the nature of any fire hazards on-site.
  • How do I know what size fire extinguisher my building needs?

    Extinguisher size is determined by the class and severity of fire hazards in your space, your square footage, and the travel distance an occupant would need to reach it — NFPA 10 sets a maximum 75-foot travel distance for Class A hazards. A safety equipment professional can assess your layout and recommend the correct rating and placement for each unit.
