Fire Extinguisher

A Fire Extinguisher is a portable safety device designed to control or extinguish small fires in emergency situations. It works by releasing a fire-suppressing agent that removes heat, cuts off oxygen, or interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire. Fire extinguishers are essential safety equipment in homes, offices, industries, laboratories, vehicles, and public places.

Different types of fire extinguishers are used for different classes of fire. Water extinguishers are used for Class A fires only. Foam extinguishers are suitable for Class A and B fires. Dry chemical powder (ABC) extinguishers are multipurpose and can be used on Class A, B, and C fires. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) extinguishers are mainly used for electrical and Class B fires, as they do not leave residue. Wet chemical extinguishers are specifically designed for Class K fires.
