The number on a fire extinguisher indicates the relative size of that extinguisher compared to others.What the number means somewhat depends upon the type of fire extinguisher.

For example, a typical modern dry-chemical extinguisher might be rated 3-A:40-B:C. This means that on burning paper or wood, it will be as effective as 3.75 gallons (14 liters) of water. It can be used to extinguish burning liquids and gases even where there is electrical equipment present, as long as the burning area doesn't exceed 40 square feet, roughly 6 feet (2 meters) long and wide.The bigger the number, the bigger the fire you can put out. If an entire room (or more) is burning, it's time to forget about the fire extinguishers and escape; you need professional firefighters!Relative size
