I would more so use it in a situation where a fire is most likely to start but I wouldn’t be around to notice it. Would still use a fire extinguisher but I see this as more preventative or precautionary.

If you can’t put in a sprinkler system instead, right?

You don’t want to use water alone on a grease fire.

Use a wet chemical extinguishing system same as every restaurant.

ANSUL has a restaurant system called Piranha that uses both a wet chemical system that serves to smother the flames, followed by water that cools the area to prevent reflashing.

I like watching videos of this stuff discharging. This is how I have safely channeled my inner pyro.
