Seven Safety Rules for Fire

Extinguisher
The Different Type of Case fires
 What is Fire Extinguisher?
A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with a dry or wet
chemical used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergencies.
 The Types of Fire Extinguisher/Case fires

Class A Fires ; Fires in ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber, and many plastics.
Class B Fires :Fires in flammable liquids, combustible liquids, petroleum greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints,
solvents, lacquers, alcohols, and flammable gases.
Class C Fires : Fires that involve energized electrical equipment.
Class D Fires: Fires in combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and
potassium.
Class K Fires: Fires in cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media (vegetable or animal oils
and fats).
 Dry Fire Extinguishers

The combustion product of the fire is covered with dry powder extinguishers, which keep it apart from the oxygen component of the
fire triangle. It also functions by taking away a flame's heat.

Identification: "POWDER" written on a label in blue.

For Class D fires, use this.

Cons: Because the powder is so fine, there is a greater chance of inhalation in confined areas.

Use of a dry powder extinguisher: when is it appropriate? on combustible metals such as magnesium. They should be used in big,
open warehouses as well as outside.

When using a dry powder extinguisher, what should you never do? Cooking oil, electrical equipment operating at more than 1000
volts, and enclosed or small areas are all prohibited.
Dry Chemical Extinguisher
Exinguisher for dry chemicals have multiple uses. This implies that, depending on the type of extinguisher,
you can use it on category A, B, or C fires.
These fire extinguishers use a foam to put out a fire that breaks the chemical reaction of fire in A, B, or C
fires as well as separating the fuel from the oxygen in A fires.
Identification: "DRY CHEM," "ABC," or "BC" written on a label in blue.
Used for: Depending on the label, Class A, B, or C fires.
Cons: When the foam is released, visibility problems may arise.
Combustibles such as paper, cloth, solid plastics, wood, leaves, and textiles are examples of materials.
Combustible liquids and gases such as gasoline, acetone, and grease, as well as liquid petroleum gases like
butane and methane, are classified as B materials.
Foam Extinguishers
Foam extinguishers

Foam concentration, water, and air are combined to create a foam fire extinguisher. The fire is put out by the dense foam,
which smothers the oxygen coming from the flames.

Identification: "FOAM" label with a cream tint.

Appropriate for: Class A or B fires.

Reverses: frequently creates a residue and can be very hard to clean up.

When is the right time to use a foam extinguisher? On combustible liquids such as paint, gasoline, diesel, solvents, and
organic solids like cardboard, paper, wood, textiles, and fibers.

When using a foam extinguisher, what should you never do? combustible metals, electrical fires, or grease fires
 Water Extinguisher
Extinguishers for water
Class A fires are best put out with water extinguishers. They put water on the fire to reduce the heat until the fuel is burned
entirely and the flames die out.

Identification: "WATER" is written in a white letter on a red tank.

For Class A fires, use this.

Cons: Because these extinguishers use water, in colder locations there is a chance that the water inside would freeze. Shock
could also result from using it on an electrical fire.

Is there ever a time to use a water extinguisher? Solid fuels include things like paper, cloth, plastic, straws, wood, and solid
polymers.

When using a water extinguisher, what should you never do? electrical fires or combustible liquids such as paint or gasoline.
Wet Chemical Extinguisher
A wet chemical fire extinguisher is used to put out grease or fat fires. The thick, soapy foam of these
extinguishers prevents oxygen from getting to the flames.

While foam or water extinguishers are more popular, some wet chemical extinguishers can also put out
Class A (wood, paper) or Class B (paint, gasoline) fires.

Identification: "WET CHEMICAL" label in yellow tone.

Uses: Class F fires; examine if the wet chemical extinguisher is compatible with Class A or Class B
materials by consulting the manufacturer's label.

Cons: Due to the danger of fumes, wet chemical fire extinguishers should always be used in a well-
ventilated environment.

Use of a wet chemical extinguisher when is appropriate

Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers
CO2 extinguishers are frequently found in server rooms or offices. Because they won't harm electronic equipment, they
are most frequently used on electrical fires. They can be used on Class B flames as well, however there is a chance that
they will relight.

They function by supplying the oxygen the fire need in order to keep it from starting.

Identification: "CO2" is written on a label in black color.

Used in Class B fires and electrical equipment.

Cons: Improper handling carries the risk of frostbite or cold burns. There is a higher chance of asphyxia in confined
areas due to the CO2 used in the construction of these extinguishers.

Conclusion
Based on my Rerserach what was been thought by teacher my knowledge was vast explored
more to know there are different types of extinguishers that falls into different category as in
case fires in conclusion there are different extinguishers that has different category that
differs each individual.
