Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are designed almost exclusively for fighting electrical fires or fires caused by electronic equipment. A Co2 fire extinguisher operates by displacing oxygen in the area in which it is used in order to suffocate the fire and rob it of its fuel source. We carry rechargeable carbon dioxide extinguishers in sizes that range from 5 lbs. to 20 lbs. so you can be sure you have plenty of stopping power should you need to combat a fire.
A carbon dioxide extinguisher is used against class C, or electrical, fires, mostly because the high-pressure gas cloud can blow burning debris from other fire types and worsen the situation. Co2 fire extinguishers are not recommended for use in constrained spaces like airplane cabins and cockpits or small offices due to the possibility that the displacement of oxygen could lead to suffocation of human beings.
Our carbon dioxide fire extinguishers make will help you combat class C fires in your business should they ever occur. Because they displace the oxygen that fires feed off of, a Co2 fire extinguisher is a great safety device to keep on hand in manufacturing and research facilities, auto dealerships, aircraft and marine service centers, and more! Be sure to choose the right
fire extinguisher labels and signs and
extinguisher cabinets and brackets for mounting and labeling your carbon dioxide extinguisher.
