Guidance: Dry Chemical fire suppression is generally recommended for Carbon Monoxide (CO). *Please consult your raw material manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) and your local authority having jurisdiction to verify the most adequate fire suppression extinguisher for your specific storage or use.
Additional extinguishing notes: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam
Always confirm extinguishing agents against the manufacturer SDS and your authority having jurisdiction before specifying a rental building fire-suppression package.
Storage & segregation guidance
Compliant storage and rental solutions for Carbon Monoxide should account for its listed hazards (Category 1), climate control needs (temperatures should not exceed 52˚C (125˚F)), and segregation requirements. Increased risk of fire and explosion on contact with: oxidizing agents (e.g. peroxides), halogens (e.g. chlorine), metals (e.g. aluminum, lithium).
Review NFPA 30 flammable liquid storage requirements and Fire-rated chemical storage rental when designing fire rating, containment, and building selection.
