There is one class of fire extinguisher for each of the 5 classes of fires: A,B,C,D,K.

There are different mechanical types of extinguishers, based upon how their internal agent is expelled: contained pressure, external pressure cartridge, and manual pump.

There are dozens of different types of agents found inside various fire extinguishers, ranging from ordinary air-pressurized water to many exotic gases and dry chemicals.
