Any portable fire extinguisher should be placed where it is visible and accessible. Many commercial kitchens are also required to have a built-in fire extinguisher over the cooking area and inside the exhaust hood, and a portable Type K fire extinguisher within 30 feet. A portable fire extinguisher should be located near an exit so that a person who chooses to stop and use the extinguisher can do so without becoming trapped by the fire. Like all portable fire extinguishers, the ones in the kitchen should be mounted with the bottom at least 4 inches above the floor and the top no more than 5 feet (60 inches) from the floor, unless they are over 40 pounds. In that case, they should be on wheels or mounted with the top no more than 3 ft (36 inches) from the floor. This information is from NFPA 1 Fire Code. Your local requirements may vary.
Fire extinguishers are required according to local, state or federal fire codes, as may apply to the particular structure. Some "small rooms" may need their own extinguishers. Under the NFPA 1 Fire Code, nearly all types of occupancies other than one- and two-family dwellings are required to have at least one portable fire extinguisher, even if there are fire alarms, fire sprinklers and "fire-proof" construction. NFPA 1 (2009): Table 13.6.2 Portable Fire Extinguishers Required (by occupancy use). For example: There must be no less than one fire extinguisher within 75 feet of any Class A Hazard and within 30 or 50 feet of any Class B hazard (depending upon size of extinguisher and type of hazard). NFPA 1 (2009): Table 13.6.8.2.1.1 Fire Extinguisher Size and Placement for Class A Hazards and Table 13.6.8.3.1.1. for Class B Hazards.
