Portable extinguishers are also rated for the size of fire they can handle. This rating is expressed as a number from 1 to 40 for Class A fires and from 1 to 640 for Class B fires. This rating will appear on the label-- 2A:10B:C, for example. The larger the numbers, the larger the fire of a specific class on which the extinguisher can be used (but higher-rated models are often heavier - make sure you can hold and operate an extinguisher before you buy it). No number accompanies an extinguisher's Class C rating. The C on the label indicates only that the extinguisher is safe to use on electrical fires. Extinguishers for Class D fires must match the type of metal that is burning. These extinguishers do not use numerical ratings. Extinguishers for Class D fires are labeled with a list detailing the metals that match the unit's extinguishing agent.
The Fire Extinguisher must be appropriate for the type of fire being fought. Multipurpose fire extinguishers, labeled ABC, may be used in all three classes of fire. If you use the wrong type of extinguisher, you can endanger yourself and make the fire worse. Using water or an extinguisher labeled only for Class A fires on a grease fire or a "live" electrical equipment fire is also very dangerous. Depending on their intended use, portable extinguishers store specific "extinguishing agents," which are expelled onto the fire. The types of Fire Extinguishers include:
Portable extinguishers are not designed to fight large or spreading fires. Even against small fires, they are useful only under certain conditions:
Always be sure the fire department inspects the fire site, even if you think you've extinguished the fire!
