Different types of material require different types or levels of heat in order to combust. One must be knowledgeable regarding the different kinds of fire for him to be able to successfully extinguish it, to prevent it from spreading or to avoid electrocution. Nonetheless, there are also different classifications special of fire extinguishers; for paper, textiles, wood, plastics and rubber, for flammable liquids, for combustible gases, for electrically energized equipment, and for cooking oils or fats. As each has different functions, it is important for a fire marshal or any civilian to be properly oriented about it to avoid further damage.

. One must be knowledgeable regarding the different kinds of fire for him to be able to successfully extinguish it, to prevent it from spreading or to avoid electrocution. Nonetheless, there are also different classifications special of fire extinguishers; for paper, textiles, wood, plastics and rubber, for flammable liquids, for combustible gases, for electrically energized equipment, and for cooking oils or fats. As each has different functions, it is important for a fire marshal or any civilian to be properly oriented about it to avoid further damage.

Here are some samples of fire extinguishers that you should know:

  • Water and Foam – which extinguish fire through taking away the heat of a fire triangle. The foam agents also separate the oxygen element from the other chemical elements. These extinguishers must ONLY be used in class A fires since if it is used on weaker versions of fire, it may spread the flammable liquid or could create a strong shock hazard.
  • Carbon Dioxide – they extinguish fire also by taking away the oxygen element of a fire triangle and removes the heat through the cold discharge it emits. This is for class B and C fires and is usually ineffictive on class A fires.
  • Dry Chemical – they extinguish the fire through stopping the chemical reaction of a fire triangle. This is the most commonly used type of fire extinguisher and effective on all types of fire. This interruption of chemical reaction is caused by creating a barrier between the oxygen and the fuel on class A kind of fires. For ordinary dry chemicals, it would not be effective on class A fires.
  • and more that you will learn on the training course.

This course will provide knowledge on how to use these different types of fire extinguishers to different types of fire and the protocol to be used to tackle fire.Fire Extinguisher 2
