Baking Soda & Class-C or ABC Fire ExtinguisherIf a fire extinguisher is not available and the fire is small, dousing it with enough baking soda can put it out. If you have one, use a class-C or multi-purpose ABC fire extinguisher to put out the flames. You can not use any other kind of fire extinguisher on an electrical fire (the extinguisher should be clearly marked, but if it's not and you're not sure what kind it is, don't use it)NEVER-EVER-EVER-use water on an electrical fire as it could cause electrocution-use a class-A fire extinguisher on an electrical fire.
A fire extinguisher.
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.
True, provided that the extinguisher is the proper type. An ABC dry chemical extinguisher would be the best extinguisher to use.
First priority is to remove the source of the electricity. Without that, the fire will continue to form. After disconnecting the electrical source, put out the fire as normal, with a co2 extinguisher and foam. Sand works too.Improvement:Sand is the best option after a CO2 extinguisher. Improvement:I agree but you could also try smothering it with a fire blanket (if you don't have a CO2 extinguisher lying around!) to take away the oxygen BUT NEVER put water on an electrical fire it just makes it worse.IMPROVEMENT;here are some good tips,NEVER USE WATERif it is small you could use some baking sodaan ABC or class C fire extinguisher are best
A foam extinguisher.
Use an ABC fire extinguisher , cover it and starve it of oxygen , or you could dump flour or baking soda on it. NOT sugar. It will burn.
A type A or Class A fire extinguisher is used on a Class A fire, that is, one involving "ordinary combustibles" such as paper, cloth, wood and small amounts of plastics.
Ananke has no atmosphere, it is too small.
any fires that are not too big or not too small
You should use a fire extinguisher when a fire is small and contained, such as a small grease fire on a stove or a trash bin fire. It is important to remember that you should only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if you have been trained in its proper use and if it is safe to do so. If the fire is large or spreading quickly, evacuate and call emergency services.
