Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguisher, portable or movable apparatus used to put out a small fire by directing onto it a substance that cools the burning material, deprives the flame of oxygen, or interferes with the chemical reactions occurring in the flame.That classifies extinguishers by what they contain. You’ll also find fire extinguishers classified by the types of fires you can use them on. This gives us five different kinds: Fires can be classified in five different ways depending on the agent that fuels them: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class K. Each type of fire involves different flammable materials and requires a special approach. In fact, trying to fight a blaze with the wrong method might make the situation worse.
- A: Green: For wood, cloth, and paper.
- B: Red: For combustible and flammable liquids such as oil, gasoline, and paint.
- C: Blue: For electrical equipment and tools.
- D: Orange/Cream: For flammable metals.
- K: Black: For animal or vegetable oils or cooking fats
- The extinguisher is emptied of its chemical and pressure to check for proper operation. All components are disassembled, inspected, cleaned, lubricated, or replaced if defective. Liquid agents are replaced at this time, dry agents may be re-used if in good condition but CO2is discharged into the atmosphere. The extinguisher is then re-filled and recharged, after a “verification of service” Service Card is placed around the cylinder neck.
