The ABCs of Fire Extinguishers
Why We Start With the Basics
Before your team ever reaches for a fire extinguisher, they need to know which one to grab—and why.
That’s why every REST module starts with a short introduction video like this one.
Each of the 13 training topics includes:
-
A clear, easy-to-follow overview
-
A quick explanation of what’s at stake
-
Real-world reasons why this topic matters
This intro video gives your team context.
It gets them thinking.
And it helps every other part of the training make more sense.
Not all fires are created equal—and neither are fire extinguishers.
In a restaurant kitchen, knowing which extinguisher to grab in an emergency can make the difference between a near-miss and a full-blown disaster. That’s why we created this short, animated explainer video: The ABCs of Fire Extinguishers.

This is part of our REST training module on fire safety. It’s fast, visual, and designed for restaurant crews who don’t have time for boring safety lectures.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Class A fires: Trash, paper, wood
-
Class B fires: Grease, gasoline, alcohol
-
Class C fires: Electrical wiring, appliances
-
And the PASS method to safely use an extinguisher
Why This Matters for Restaurants
Kitchen fires can go from “no big deal” to catastrophic in seconds.
But most team members have never actually been taught what those A, B, or C labels mean—or what extinguisher to use.
This REST training video helps your team:
-
Feel confident in an emergency
-
Avoid using the wrong extinguisher (and making it worse!)
-
Remember fire categories using real restaurant examples
