Fire extinguishers. Which one????

Well since my nephews almost lost a 20k mower this morning, I'm thinking I need to add a fire extinguisher to my new mower. 

I'm thinking a ABC extinguisher, but I know we have a couple fire fighters here, so I figured it'd ask the experts.

Bump for snoozing firefighters............

Although I don't know the details, last week a lawnmower in a garage in Clarence Center caught on fire and supposedly did $370,000 in damage.

ABC is fine,  B is for flammable liquids but I’d go for ABC rather then just B to cover all bases .  As far as laws post, I leave my mower outside till it cools down before putting it in my garage,that’s not the first house lost to a hot mower placed  near combustibles .

My nephew who does lawn care also, had a mower catch fire today.  He was trimming the lawn, and smelled something burning. He looked at his mower, and it has a two foot flame above the seat.  Lucky, there was a few planters next to the mower and he smothered the fire with the dirt.
