Types of Fire Extinguishers
Foam Extinguishers
Foam extinguishers are used for class B fires. You can check the label on the fire extinguisher to identify what type of fire it extinguishes. For Class B fires, that are caused by organic material such as coal, textiles, cardboard, paper etc, you will see a cream color on the body of the cylinder. The foam fire extinguisher is water based, however it can be used for class A fires as well. Make sure you don’t use Fam extinguishers to put out fires from electrical appliances or metal fires.
Water Extinguishers
Water is an age old fire extinguisher and is the first thing we turn to in case of a fire break-out. However, we have to be careful what we use a water extinguisher on. The mark on the fire extinguisher for a water extinguisher will be red. You can use a water extinguisher when there is no oil based fuel or electricity involved in the fires. Most commonly it is used to put out paper, textile, cardboard, wool, coal garment fires.
