What type of fire extinguisher should I purchase for my home?

A multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher is a great option for homeowners. We recommend a minimum size of 2A:10BC which is commonly referred to as a five-pound fire extinguisher. This type of fire extinguisher is easy to use and is effective at extinguishing small fires with ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, or energized equipment.
