List of fire extinguisher types and uses: 

ABC Dry Powder - 

Primarily used on Class A, B, and C fires. This element is usually a mixture of monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfate. This fire extinguisher is applicable to fire areas such as gasoline combustion, warehouses, gas stations, construction sites and electrical equipment rooms. 

Carbon dioxide-based - 

Charged with non-flammable carbon dioxide gas at high pressure. These fire extinguishers CO2 are commonly used in laboratories, mechanical rooms, kitchens or areas where flammable liquids are stored. 

Clean Agent - 

This is clean, residue-free, eco-friendly equipment suitable for industrial fields containing electronic products such as computers and machines. Clean agent fire extinguishers typically use inert gases or chemicals that are stored in a container and dispersed into the air. A fire has been detected. This type of fire extinguisher is applicable to museums, libraries, communication centers and server rooms. 

Mechanical Foam – 

Useful on fires such as oil, petroleum, solvents, grease, paint, etc. Fire extinguishers use blanketing and cooling effects to extinguish fires. The device is equipped with a special cap and has a controlled mechanism. 

Modular Automatic - 

Uses sprinkler technology to extinguish fire outbreaks. The fire extinguisher comes with an airtight nozzle system. The nozzle is activated when the surrounding environment exceeds a critical temperature range. Modular automatic fire extinguishers are mainly used in vehicle engines, computer areas, server rooms, electrical panels, etc. 

Trolley Mounted – 

Larger capacity fire extinguishers are typically trolley mounted. The equipment is mounted on a trolley and is heavy so it can be easily moved. This type of fire extinguisher is suitable for extinguishing fires involving gasoline, oil, paint, chemicals, etc. 

Water Mist – 

Discharges clean, deionized water through the nozzle spray outlet. This mist layer is non-conductive and non-toxic, so it extinguishes fires without damaging the surrounding space.

Safe Operating of Fire Extinguishers


Portable Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets Selection and Location provides comprehensive information. Make sure everyone in your home/office knows where all fire extinguishers are and how to use them. Operate fire extinguishers only when it is safe to do so. If in doubt, get out. Pull firmly on the safety pin to remove it (this will also break the plastic seal). Test the fire extinguisher for operability immediately after removing it from the mounting bracket. For safety reasons, always work in pairs. Carry or drag a fire extinguisher to the scene of the fire.

How to operate a fire extinguisher

 


There are many different types of portable fire extinguishers, each of which can be identified by color coding and labels. Make sure the fire extinguisher you plan to use is suitable for the type of fire occurring. For example, water fire extinguishers should never be used on fires involving electrical equipment.

How To Use a Fire Extinguisher

It's easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.

Pull the pin.

This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.

Aim at the base of the fire.

If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.

Squeeze the Handle

Squeeze the top handle or lever.

This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher.


Sweep Side to Side

Sweep from side to side

until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away, then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.
