Where is the best location for Class B fire extinguishers in a restaurant?

The best location for Class B fire extinguishers in a restaurant is close to cooking areas and flammable liquid storage because these locations are where Class B fires are most likely to occur. Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as grease, oil, and solvents, which are prevalent in kitchen settings and areas where food preparation takes place. By positioning extinguishers nearby, personnel can quickly access them in the event of a fire, reducing the risk of the fire spreading and allowing for a more effective response.

Additionally, the rapid availability of extinguishers in these high-risk areas enhances overall safety for both staff and customers by enabling immediate action to control small fires before they escalate into larger emergencies. Keeping extinguishers close to sources of potential fires aligns with fire safety best practices and regulations.
