What would happen if you used a foam fire extinguisher on a liquid fire?

Using a foam fire extinguisher on a liquid fire can be effective, as foam is designed to smother flames and create a barrier between the fuel and the air. However, it's crucial to ensure that the liquid is compatible with foam extinguishing agents, as some flammable liquids may react adversely. If the foam does not properly cover the fuel, it might spread the fire instead of extinguishing it. Always check the fire classification and use the appropriate extinguisher for the specific type of fire.
