Every California commercial building is required to have extinguishers inspected annually. Our licensed technicians provide documented inspections, recharging, 6-year maintenance, and hydrostatic testing — with certificates of compliance issued on the spot.

Every Extinguisher Type for Every Hazard

The right extinguisher depends on the fire hazard class in your facility. Delta supplies, installs, and services all common types — and helps you choose the correct rating for each area.

ABC Dry Chemical Extinguishers

The most common commercial extinguisher — effective on ordinary combustibles (Class A), flammable liquids (Class B), and energized electrical equipment (Class C). Required in virtually every commercial occupancy.

Office Buildings Retail Stores Warehouses Schools

CO2 Extinguishers

Carbon dioxide extinguishers leave no residue — ideal for protecting electrical equipment, server rooms, and sensitive electronics. Effective on Class B and C fires without causing secondary damage to equipment.

Server Rooms Data Centers Laboratories Electrical Rooms

K-Class Wet Chemical Extinguishers

Required in commercial kitchens by NFPA 10 and Title 19. K-Class extinguishers are specifically designed for cooking oils and fats (Class K fires) that reach extreme temperatures in deep-fat fryers and commercial cooking equipment.

Restaurants Commercial Kitchens Cafeterias Catering Facilities

Clean Agent Extinguishers

Halotron and other clean agent extinguishers discharge a gaseous agent that suppresses fire without leaving corrosive or abrasive residue. Ideal for environments where equipment protection and minimal cleanup are critical.
