Title: Fire Extinguishers


1
What Type of Fire Extinguishers Are Available?
Fire Extinguishers are the answer to every fire
threat no matter what the cause. While having
one is not mandatory, it is certainly good
practice to have one on your side at all times.
This will save you and your family's lives in the
event of a real fire emergency. In fact, having
one should be a high priority on your list
of household essentials. Having a fire
extinguisher on your keychain or in your car is
even more important. There are actually four
classes of fire extinguishers, A through D, and
each classification is able to extinguish a
specific type of fire. Classes A through C will
extinguish fires based on what is in the liquid
or gaseous content of the fire. Class D
extinguishes fires due to flammable metals in the
liquid or substance. There is also a special
type of fire extinguisher called mono ammonium
phosphate which is a more powerful type than
monochloroethylene (or Methylene Chlorid
e). Monoammonium phosphate is used on electrical
equipment and electric fires. Class A fires
involving organic materials will not be easily
put out by Class A fire extinguishers because
they have chemical components that react with the
oxygen in the air. These chemical ingredients
are alkaline or acidic in nature and will cause
suffocation. This is why it is important that
fire extinguishers with this type of chemical
component are placed in places like fireproof
cabinets, and in some areas near water
sources. The next two classes, B and C, have
different chemicals in their composition than do
Class A fire extinguishers. B and C extinguishers
are required to be kept in good working order.
The parts may need to be changed occasionally. If
the fire extinguisher is maintained properly
then it should last many years. It is important
that owners know what types of fires they are
extinguishing and how frequently. Finally, there
is the class of rating fire extinguishers. They
are usually the most powerful type of fire
extinguishers available. Fire extinguishers of
this class have components that are made from
metal, which does not burn, so they have to
be used with a spark ignition device, flammables,
or organic solvents. You will find these products
at fire departments all over the world, and they
are usually the fire extinguishers used in
hospitals. When it comes to fire extinguishers,
safety is of the utmost importance. Don't waste
your time and money buying an inexpensive product
that will not keep your home safe. Take the time
to buy the right one for you. The right choice
will make

of your family. It might also save your
