Class C Fire Extinguishers

Class C fire extinguishers are designed to combat fires that involve flammable gases as the fuel. Typically, this tends to be gases such as methane, propane, butane and hydrogen, which means you need a specific extinguisher to tackle the fire without the risk of spreading it further or causing an explosion.

At Fire Safety Equipment, we stock high-quality Class C fire extinguishers - known as powder extinguishers - to help you combat a fire involving gases safely. Whether you operate an industrial plant, kitchen, laboratory or other setting where gases are stored or created, we help you get all the equipment you need so that you can keep people safe.

What Is a Class C Fire?

Class C fires occur when there is the presence of a flammable gas and a source of ignition such as a spark or open flame. This, mixed with oxygen naturally present in the air, creates a fire that can spread through ventilation spaces or ignite any materials nearby.

Since powder is a dry chemical agent, it’s a great class C fire extinguisher. ABC powder does a number of things to a class C fire. Firstly, it creates a cloud of fine particles to smother a fire by disrupting the chemical reaction taking place, it then helps to cool any materials and reduce their temperature if the fire has spread.

Class C Fire Extinguishers Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fuel is involved in a class C fire?

The fuel for a class C fire is a flammable gas, such as propane, butane, methane and natural gas. Once a gas fire ignites, it can even move on to use nearby solid materials for fuel.

What does a class C fire extinguisher contain?

Class C fire extinguishers contain either sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate as the extinguishing agent.

How can I prevent a class C fire?

Gases in commercial and industrial settings are quite common, but to lower the risk of a fire, always follow proper storage and handling guidance. You should also conduct regular maintenance and inspections of gas equipment to ensure there are no leaks or faults. Finally, make sure there are ‘no smoking’ signs around areas with flammable gases to highlight the risk and eliminate a very common ignition source.
