Using fire extinguishers...
Use the proper class of fire extinguisher in case of fire.
Ensure fire extinguishers are serviced regularly, and replace any fire
extinguishers that are discharged or in use beyond their expiration dates.
– Class A fire extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such
as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on
these types of extinguishers indicates the amount of water it holds and
the amount of fire it can extinguish. Geometric symbol (green triangle).
– Class B fire extinguishers are for fires that involve flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The
numerical rating for class B extinguishers indicates the approximate
number of square feet of fire it can extinguish. Geometric symbol (red
square).
– Class C fire extinguishers are for fires that involve electrical equipment
such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water
to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great!
Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical rating. The C classification
means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive. Geometric symbol
(blue circle).
– Class ABC fire extinguishers are a dry chemical type used for multiple
purposes. See above descriptions for additional information.
