These hazard levels are light, ordinary, and high and the fire types are A, B, C, D, and K. Each level has different rating and spacing requirements. Please consult your local fire authorities for specifics on the type of fire extinguishers needed, the quantity of fire extinguishers needed, and proper spacing of fire extinguishers.
