What does letter B on B-1 fire extinguisher indicate?
B on fire extinguishers generally means that it can be used to put out flammable liquid fires. B1 means it will do so, but not especially well (1 is the lowest ranking).A is for flammable solids, C is for electrical fires.Usually the number appears before the letter, so 1-B rather than B1. Properly used, a 1-B extinguisher can be reasonably expected to put out a puddle of flaming liquid about 2.5 square feet in area. If you've never had specific training in using one, you probably WILL NOT use it properly; for flammable liquid fires, unless it's an extremely small fire it's almost always better to call 911 than to try to use a fire extinguisher on it (you're more likely to spread it than extinguish it).
