Fire extinguishers are marked by colour and signage. It is important that any extinguisher is used correctly. For instance, an extinguisher containing water will be red, and have a warning not to use it on an oil or electrical fire. Carbon Dioxide will be black, Foam will be yellow, or in some countries, red with a yellow horizontal band, Dry powder is blue. Any health and safety website will provide examples of the colours used, and also instructions on their use, and on what type of fire they must not be used on.

∙ 11y agoA fire extinguisher may have a tag on the nozzle that says what kinds of fire it will put out. Some fire extinguishers may also have a particular type of nozzle that distinguishes them, but this is not true for all extinguishers.
Most fire extinguishers also have a sticker on them saying what they are with colored geometric shapes and/or pictures of what fires that can and cannot put out.
