Fire Extinguishers for your Small Restaurant in NYC?
A simple guide for NYC restaurant owners to stay FDNY compliant and avoid fines.
Choosing the right extinguisher type depends on your cooking equipment, grease load, and occupancy classification. Most small restaurants need a combination of Class K extinguishers for kitchen areas and ABC extinguishers for the dining, prep, or office spaces.
At Master Fire Prevention, we specialize in helping NYC restaurants select, install, tag, and service the correct extinguishers for FDNY inspection — ensuring your business stays safe and open.
Top Questions Small Restaurant Owners Ask:
• What type of extinguisher do I need near my deep fryer?
• Can I use an ABC extinguisher in the kitchen?
• How often do extinguishers need to be inspected or replaced?
• What happens if the tag is missing during inspection?
• Can Master Fire handle both extinguishers and suppression systems?
