Following is information from fireextinguisher-101.com. = Note that BC types leave a corrosive residue and that ABC types leave a = sticky residue. Good look and keep up posted on your = experience/success. Here are the most common types of fire extinguishers: a.. Water extinguishers or APW extinguishers (air-pressurized = water) are suitable for class A fires only. Never use a water = extinguisher on grease = fires<http://www.fire-extinguisher101.com/using.html>, electrical fires = or class D fires - the flames will spread and make the fire bigger! = Water extinguishers are filled with water and pressurized with oxygen. = Again - water extinguishers can be very dangerous in the wrong type of = situation. Only fight the fire if you're certain it contains ordinary = combustible materials only.=20 b.. Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and = are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires. These are = filled with foam or powder and pressurized with nitrogen.=20 a.. BC - This is the regular type of dry chemical = extinguisher. It is filled with sodium bicarbonate or potassium = bicarbonate. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue which must = be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials.=20 b.. ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical = extinguisher. The ABC type is filled with monoammonium phosphate, a = yellow powder that leaves a sticky residue that may be damaging to = electrical appliances such as a computer=20 =20 Dry chemical extinguishers have an advantage over CO2 extinguishers = since they leave a non-flammable substance on the extinguished material, = reducing the likelihood of re-ignition.=20 a.. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are used for class B and C = fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, = and are highly pressurized. The pressure is so great that it is not = uncommon for bits of dry ice to shoot out the nozzle. They don't work = very well on class A fires because they may not be able to displace = enough oxygen to put the fire out, causing it to re-ignite.=20 <http://www.fire-extinguisher101.com/using.html>CO2 extinguishers have = an advantage over dry chemical extinguishers since they don't leave a = harmful residue - a good choice for an electrical fire on a computer or = other favorite electronic device such as a stereo or TV. It is vital to know what type of extinguisher you are using. = Using the wrong type of extinguisher for the wrong type of fire can be = life-threatening.=20 These are only the common types of fire extinguishers. There are many = others to choose from.
