Which type of fire extinguisher would you recommend for fires involving wood, paper, and fabric?
For fires involving wood, paper, and fabric, I would recommend using a Class A fire extinguisher. These extinguishers are designed to put out fires involving ordinary combustible materials like wood, paper, and fabric.
How many classes of fire are there as per Indian standard?
4 Classes of Fire.CLASS A(ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES)CLASS B(FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS & GASES)CLASS C(ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS)CLASS D(COMBUSTIBLE METALS)CLASS K(COOKING OILS & FATS)
Is paper a class a fire hazard?
European, US, and Australian fire classification systems all include these in "Class A" fire category. Class A fires are those with ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, fabrics and most kinds of refuse. Fires involving burning liquids, gases, or metals are not Class A.
Where should you aim a fire extinguishers stream when extinguishing the fire?
The stream should be aimed directly at the base of the fire. This will extinguish the source of the flame. Aiming it at the flame itself will have little impact. Always use the correct type of extinguisher for the fire source Class A - fires involving solid materials such as wood, paper or textiles. Class B - fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel or oils. Class C - fires involving gases. Class D - fires involving metals. Class E - fires involving live electrical apparatus. (Technically 'Class E' doesn't exists however this is used for convenience here) Class F - fires involving cooking oils such as in deep-fat fryers. Water Red Class A Water extinguishers are used on Class A fires. They are not suitable for fires fuelled by flammable liquids or where electricity is involved. Foam Cream Class A and B Foam is a versatile fire extinguisher. Used for Class A and B fires. CO2 Black Class B and E CO2 fire extinguishers are used for fires involving electrical apparatus. They have no post fire security which means that the fire could reignite. Dry Powder Blue Class A, B and C Dry powder extinguishers can be used on Class A, B and C fires. Dry powder is not recommended for use inside because it can obscure vision and damage goods and machinery. Wet Chemical Yellow Class F Wet chemical extinguishers are for fires involving cooking fats and oils. They are most suitable for use in restaurants and kitchens.

What are they types of fires?
1.Class A are fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and many plastics.2.Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints, solvents, alcohols. Class B fires also include flammable gases such as propane and butane. Class B fires do not include fires involving cooking oils and grease.3.Class C fires are fires involving energized electrical equipment such as computers, servers, motors, transformers, and appliances. Remove the power and the Class C fire becomes one of the other classes of fire.4.Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and potassium.5.Class K fires are fires in cooking oils and greases such as animal and vegetable fats.
What is class A fires?
Wood, paper, etc..
What kind of fire are class b extinguishers best for?
Liquid (oil) fires.
The dry chemical fire extinguisher is used to extinguish what types of fires?
Dry chemical is used for class A fires (wood, paper, etc) , class B (burnng liquids- gasoline, alcohol, diesel, etc), class C fires, which are any fires involving electrical hazards, and there are special dry chemical extinguishers for class D fires- burning metals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, aluminum. The class C rating on an extinguisher simply means that the firefighting material will not conduct electricity.
What is a class A and C fire extinguisher?
Class A fire extinguishers are used on Class A fires, that is, "ordinary combustibles" such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and small amounts of plastics. Because it may contain conductive water, a Class A should never be used on an any other type of fire -- there could be a dangerous reaction.
Class A fires consist of?
Rubber, wood, paper or plastic
What is a class A fire extinguisher used for?
A class D fire extinguisher is used for fighting class D fires. Class D fires are metal fires involving magnesium, potassium, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys. The class D extinguishers are mostly used in the aircraft industry, auto body shops and factories working with metal.
