What does a B-1 fire extinguisher do?
B-I is the minimum US Coast Guard approval rating for extinguishers on powerboats. It corresponds to a UL Class 5-B:C, 2-pound, dry chemical extinguisher that has been properly packaged and mounted for USCG approvals as well. It could also mean a 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or a 7-quart foam extinguisher. What can you do with it? Well, a B-1 rated extinguisher is just the thing for putting out "flammable liquid" fires on boats, a B-1 or B-2 rated extinguisher being required by the Coast Guard to operate the vessel. If the gasoline or diesel fuel spills and catches fire, your extinguisher will probably be adequate to put it out, provided that you act promptly. The UL 5-B rating implies that a novice firefighter can extinguish 5 square feet of flaming liquid fuel using that extinguisher. The C rating means it is also approved for use on energized electrical fires, i.e., it is non-conductive.

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.
