halon
Downwind from the fire.
The most common 'gas' in a fire extinguisher is carbon dioxide (CO2), but there are others. They include Halon 1211, Halon 1301, FM200, FE-36, Halotron I and a few more.

Hello all, As far as I know that we are using halon 1301 for our extinguisher. But if you have any damaged extinguisher then you can sell it on halon.us.

An electrical fire is a class B fire. If possible, the electricity causing the fire should be shut off. The most common fire extinguisher for this type of fire is an ABC dry chemical extinguisher. Class C can be used in a pinch, but a class A should NEVER be used if the electricity is still present in the fire.
BCF fire extinguisher means a fire extinguisher containing Halon 1211;A Halon fire extinguisher would be used where delicate processes or electronics near the fire would be severely damaged by residue of dry chemical extinguishers. It is sometimes better to use a $10,000 fire extinguisher than destroy a $500,000 piece of equipment.BromochlorodiflouromethaneA person may use or store a BCF fire extinguisher if-was manufactured or imported before 1 June 1990; or(ii) was manufactured or imported after that date by an exempt person;and(b) it is used only for the purposes of extinguishing a fire (not being a firedeliberately lit for the purposes of firefighting training).(2) Subregulation (1) ceases to apply in relation to a BCF fire extinguisher on-(a) the day on which it is next liable to be subjected to a hydrostatic test; or(b) 31 December 1995,whichever is the earlier, and the person who owns or has possession of theextinguisher must, before that day, deliver the extinguisher to an office or station

The most common are dry chemical extinguishers, which have the drawback of contaminating the circuitry if used. However, damage from the fire will likely be greater. The same applies to CO2 extinguishers, which can damage computers and peripherals with condensation from the air, and also damage circuit boards if they cool them down. The ideal electronics fire extinguisher is the halon gas extinguisher, which smothers the fire without doing extensive damage. The drawbacks are higher cost and the likelihood of environmental impact. Europe and Australia currently restrict or prohibit Halon use.
