Firefighters use several kinds of fire-fighting chemicals:

For ordinary fires: water or a Class A extinguisher

For fires involving combustible chemicals such as gasoline, grease, or oil (Class B): C02 (carbon dioxide), dry chemical extinguishers such as foam, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, or monoammonium phosphate

For fires involving electrical equipment (Class C): C02 or dry chemical extinguishers such as the above -- never use water on an electrical fire!
