What is the maximum travel distance to a Class K extinguisher?

The maximum travel distance to a Class K extinguisher is established at 30 feet. Class K fire extinguishers are specifically designed to address fires involving cooking oils and fats, which are prevalent in commercial kitchen settings. The 30-foot guideline is based on the need to ensure safety when responding to a fire. This distance allows individuals to access the extinguisher while minimizing exposure to the flames. If a person has to travel further than 30 feet to reach a Class K extinguisher, the risk of injury or danger increases significantly. This regulation is put in place to enhance effective fire response in environments where such fires are most likely to occur.
