The type, size and location of fire extinguishers on a building site should be selected according to the types of fuels and volumes of fuels and the other hazards that may exist on that site.
For instance, if building a home from wood, having a Class A fire extinguisher would be appropriate. If electricity is in use at the site, and an overload or other electrical fire may occur, an ABC or BC extinguisher should also be at hand.
