But what most people do not know is that one fire extinguisher doesn’t fit all types of fire. Just like there are many different types of fires, there are also different types, or classes, of fire extinguishers.

POWDER FIRE EXTINGUISHER

It makes powder extinguishers an all-rounder fire extinguisher, as they can be used to extinguish on Class A, B, and C fires.

Powder extinguishers can create a lack of visibility and can additionally trigger breathing challenges. They are typically not allowed to be used inside buildings unless during an emergency.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher is among the cleanest you can use since there is no trace or residue to clean.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers work as they displace oxygen or remove the oxygen element of the fire triangle. Because the carbon dioxide is extremely cold as it leaves the extinguisher, it cools the fire as well.

Class A & F fires are best extinguished with Wet Chemical Extinguishers. This range of extinguishers are professionals when it comes to kitchen fires started by fat and oils.
