Fireline is happy to offer you fire extinguisher services in Greenbelt, Maryland, and beyond.
Fire extinguishers put out more fires than one might expect. Indeed, they put out at least 80% of all fires, including commercial fires. Commercial facilities require the greatest precautions when it comes to fire, as they house a significantly higher number of occupants. While substantial fire protection systems including fire suppression and fire alarm systems are crucial to the overall design, fire extinguishers are invaluable as well. If you are in need of excellent fire extinguisher services in Greenbelt, Maryland, look no further than Fireline.

Types of Fire Extinguishers
When acquiring fire extinguishers for your commercial building, you will need to have a professional prescribe the right type and size for each area. Of course, it helps to understand the different types to give you an idea of what you need.
Fire extinguishers come in different classes.
- Class A: for common fire fuels like wood, fabric, paper, trash, etc.
- Class B: for flammable liquids like gasoline
- Class C: for electrical fires
- Class D: for combustible metals
- Class K: for commercial cooking fires
One will see some units that have combined classes, such as BC and ABC. Fireline is proud to be one of the first distributors to provide multi-purpose (ABC) fire extinguisher units in the 1960s. Aside from type, Fireline technicians can also prescribe the right unit size, whether it be a unit as light as 2-and-a-half pounds to an industrial, wheeled unit.
