Can a 3A fire extinguisher handle a fire three times larger than a 1A fire extinguisher?

No, a 3A fire extinguisher cannot handle a fire three times larger than a 1A fire extinguisher. The ratings indicate the extinguisher's effectiveness against Class A fires, with the number representing the size of the fire it can extinguish. A 3A rating means it can handle a fire that is approximately three times the size of a 1A fire, but it does not imply it can extinguish a fire three times larger than its rated capability.

What type of fire extinguisher is the best to douse a computer fire?

The most common are dry chemical extinguishers, which have the drawback of contaminating the circuitry if used. However, damage from the fire will likely be greater. The same applies to CO2 extinguishers, which can damage computers and peripherals with condensation from the air, and also damage circuit boards if they cool them down. The ideal electronics fire extinguisher is the halon gas extinguisher, which smothers the fire without doing extensive damage. The drawbacks are higher cost and the likelihood of environmental impact. Europe and Australia currently restrict or prohibit Halon use.
