Best Answer

Depends upon the hazard class and type of occupancy, class and rating of extinguisher, among other things.

In general, Class A must be within 75 feet of each other, Class B within 30 or 50 feet, Class D within 50 feet and Class K within 30 feet of the cooking area.

Local codes and other circumstances may require more or less.

Depends on the type of extinguisher. Most are designed to work at about 6 feet/2metres. If the fire is big, just get out and save yourself!
