Types of Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers come in different types and sizes. A professional can help prescribe the right one for your premises and place it strategically. As for size, you can find one either as light as two and a half pounds, or as heavy as a wheeled, industrial unit. In terms of type, you’ll find several categories from A to K:
- Class A: This chemical type is for ordinary materials like wood, fabric, paper, and trash.
- Class B: This chemical puts out fires on gasoline, grease, and oil.
- Class C: Class C takes care of electrical fires.
- Class D: This chemical deals with fires caused by combustible metals.
- Class K: Class K units are often in restaurants to handle kitchen fires.
- Pressurized Water: Water is a substitute for Class A fires.
- Carbon Dioxide: CO2 can take care of electrical fires and liquid fires.
You will see different combinations of A, B, and C chemicals on the market. Fireline provides Multi-purpose (ABC) dry chemical units and BC units as well.
