FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Choosing A Fire Extinguisher
When choosing a fire extinguisher it is important you choose the correct
one.
The first step in doing this is understanding the 3 main classes of fire.
all extiinguishers have listed on them the classes of fires that they are
good
for.
Below is a brief outline of the classes.
Type A
A class"A" fire is a combustable fire such as paper wood and
most
plastics.
for these types of fires your best bet is either an ABC dry chemical unit
or
a 2 1/2 galloon pressurized water unit
Type B
A type "B" fire is a liquid fire such as paint gasoline and many
chemicals.
For this type of fire your choices are ABC dry chemical, BC dry chemical,
or
CO2 which also has a BC rating.
Type C
A type "C" fire is an electrical fire. you will find class C fires
are
always joined with a class "A" or class "B" fires. The types of fire
extinguishers that can be used are ABC dry chemical, BC dry chemical, or
CO2.
If you have been told by your Insurance companies or fire department that
you
require a specific rating for e.g. "10 BC" you will find all the
ratings
for each fire extinguisher that we sell.
