The 7 Main Fire Extinguisher Types
Each fire extinguisher type is tailored to suit the type of fire it is for. As such, it’s incredibly important that you choose the right type of fire extinguishers for your premises.
The seven main extinguisher types include: water, CO2, water mist, foam, powder and wet chemical.
- Water Extinguishers – These are for Class A fires, such as combustibles like paper, wood, textiles or other solid combustible materials
- Carbon Dioxide or CO2 Extinguishers – These are for Class B fires and used for electrical fires which is why they are often in offices alongside water extinguishers
- Deionised Water Mist Extinguishers – These are for Class A, B and C fires and cover flammable gases and electrical equipment
- AFFF Foam Extinguishers or ‘Aqueous Film-Forming Foam’ Extinguishers – These are for Class A and B fires including flammable liquids. The foam is ineffective on alcohol. And in some cases, this type of extinguisher can be safe on electrical equipment too
- ABC Powder Extinguishers – The ‘ABC’ refers to the fact that this type of extinguisher is suitable for A, B and C class fires
If you’re not sure which type you need, our experts can help. With over 70 years in the fire and security industry, we can advise you on how best to keep safe. Get in touch with us today.
Fire Extinguisher Colours
All fire extinguishers must meet British fire standards (BS EN3). In addition, to ensure they are easily identifiable, all have an overall red colouring. However, each extinguisher has a specific colour code which adheres to the contents. This is so the right extinguisher for the right type of fire is used.
Here are the different colour codes for each types of fire extinguisher and what they indicate:
