Fire Extinguishers

Category Overview

Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense in emergency fire situations. They help contain flames, reduce property damage, and protect lives until fire services arrive. There are several types, each designed for specific classes of fire:​

• Water Extinguishers: Best for Class A fires involving wood, paper, or textiles.​

• Foam Extinguishers: Suitable for Class A and B fires caused by solids or flammable liquids. They smother the fire and restrict oxygen.​

• Dry Chemical (ABC) Extinguishers: Multipurpose and highly effective on Class A, B, and C fires including electrical hazards.​

• CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) Extinguishers: Perfect for electrical and flammable liquid fires; leaves no residue.​

• Wet Chemical Extinguishers: Designed for kitchen and cooking oil fires (Class K), cooling and emulsifying burning oils.
