Kitchen Fire Protection Sized for Smaller Spaces
You don’t need a full commercial cookline to have a serious oil fire risk. A single countertop fryer in a café, a wok burner in a food truck or a busy staff kitchen can all ignite cooking oil in seconds. The 2.5L wet chemical fire extinguisher Perth gives these smaller kitchens the right type of protection in a size that’s easy to mount, reach and use.
Wet chemical agent is the only extinguisher type designed specifically for cooking oil and fat fires. Applied gently over burning oil, it reacts with the fat to create a soapy foam layer that seals the surface, smothers the flames and cools the oil to stop it flaring back up.
Fire Classes Covered
- Class F – cooking oils and fats in fryers, woks, pans and hotplates
- Class A – ordinary combustibles such as paper, cardboard, timber, cloth and packaging
Important: Do not use on live electrical equipment (Class E) or flammable liquid fires (Class B). Switch off power or gas to the appliance first if it’s safe. For electrical risks, add a CO2 extinguisher to your kitchen.
Ideal For
- Cafés, coffee shops and bakeries with small fryers
- Takeaway shops with countertop deep fryers
- Food trucks, coffee vans and market stalls
- Office and staff kitchens, break rooms and canteens
- Childcare, school and community kitchens
- Boat galleys, caravans and holiday homes with cooking areas

How to Use It Safely
- Turn off the heat source if you can do so safely
- Pull the safety pin
- Aim the nozzle from a safe distance, above the fire
- Squeeze gently to apply a soft, steady spray
- Sweep slowly so the foam spreads across the oil surface
Remember:
- Never blast burning oil. A gentle application prevents splashing.
- Use the full contents to help cool the oil.
- Leave the fryer or pan where it is until fully cooled.
- If the fire reaches the exhaust hood or spreads, get out and call 000.
