Fire Extinguisher Prices in Kenya: Types, Sizes & Where to Put Them
Quick answer

A dry powder (ABC) extinguisher handles most fires at home and in cars. CO2 is best for electrical equipment like server rooms and offices because it leaves no residue. Foam suits flammable liquids, and a fire blanket is the fastest way to smother a pan fire in the kitchen. Service extinguishers regularly and keep them visible near exits.
