How to Stop a Class K Fire Before Brad Becomes Medium Rare
We all know a Brad, the undisputed king of "Shoulder Grilling". You’re in the zone, tongs clicking, when Brad hovers over your neck with unprompted advice. "Looks a little pink, you should adjust the vents." The fact is, Brad doesn’t know the difference between grilling a skirt or flank steak. Still, in his infinite, unearned wisdom, he reaches over your shoulder with a spatula to “fix” a fat-dripping slab of beef and knocks it directly into the hot coals.
The Anatomy of a Class K Fire
Suddenly, whoosh.
A massive grease fire erupts. The flames reach the patio umbrella. Brad freezes in pure terror.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Class K fire?
A Class K fire is a fire fueled by combustible cooking liquids such as cooking oils, greases, and animal or vegetable fats.

Element Fire Extinguishers are rated to fight all major fire classes, including Class K.
Can you put water on a Class K fire?
Never! Pouring water on a Class K grease fire causes the water to instantly vaporize and expand.

Always use a specialized Class K fire extinguisher like Element Fire Extinguishers to fight the flames involving grease or cooking oils safely.
