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.

Why is carbon doixide a liqiud at room temperature when it is in a fire extunisher?

Carbon dioxide is a liquid in a fire extinguisher because it is kept under high pressure inside the extinguisher. This high pressure compresses the gas molecules together, causing them to condense into a liquid form at room temperature. When the fire extinguisher is activated, the liquid carbon dioxide is released as a gas, which helps smother the fire by displacing oxygen around it.

Why people prefer Automatic X-Fire Auto Ampoule Fire Extinguisher?

X-Fire Auto Ampuole Fire Extinguisher’s ampoule activates automatically when there is a fire, and extinguishes the fire immediately. During fire when the temperature in the room rises, the extinguisher liquid in the ampoule also gets heated and expands. When the temperature of the liquid touches 85C°+/- 5C°, it gets converted into vapor. Due to the changes in the liquid, a pressure is generated that breaks the glass cylinder into pieces. Post which, the vapor spurts in the affected area, starting an endothermic process that takes away the rage from the fire, and prevents a huge fire from happening. Please note that the broken glasses do not have sharp edges, hence is safe and do not cause any harm. X-Fire Auto Ampuole Fire Extinguisher’s extinguishing area is about 7 to 10 sqm in a sparsely furnished room and the effective extinguishing time is roughly about 7 to 17 seconds. For a normal furnished room, the extinguishing area is about 4 to 7 sqm.
