FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
General Information
Fire extinguishers are classied by a letter and numeric symbol. The
letter references the type of re the unit is designed to extinguish.
For example, type B extinguishers commonly used on boats are
designed to put out ammable liquids such as grease, oil and gasoline.
The number indicates the general size of the extinguisher and minimum
extinguishing agent weight.
Boat res are dangerous, particularly on the water. Regal recommends
carrying more than the minimum for the safety of you and your family.
