What type of fire extinguisher needs to be used on oxidizer solids?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Ordinary burning solids (wood, cloth) would need a water extinguisher (Class A). Burning metallic solids (lithium, magnesium) would need a special power found in Class D fire extinguishers (in the USA).
A Class ABC extinguisher would also work on ordinary combustibles (Class A fire), but not on Class D solid fires.
