Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers work by extreme cooling and a reduction of oxygen to the fire. They have a limited range and can be affected by drafts and wind. To be able to fight the fire effectively you need to be able to get close to the source of flames. CO2 fire extinguishers are rated BC.

A continuity test of the hose assembly is required annually as well as ensuring proper location, positioning, and looking for new hazards which may need to be covered. A high pressure hydro-test is required not less than every 5 years and a visual inspection for cracks is done as needed.
