Fire needs three things to burn: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Take away one or more of those three things in sufficient quantities, and the fire can no longer burn.
.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher sprays a noncombustible, air resistant layer of foam designed to cover the fire's fuel source. When the fuel source (wood, oil, cloth, etc.) is completely and properly smothered, the expelled dry chemical foam isolates the fuel from the surrounding air, and thereby starves the fire of the oxygen it needs to burn.

In general what are dry chemical fire extinguishers on?
Dry chemical fire extinguishers are primarily used to combat Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. They contain a dry chemical powder, such as monoammonium phosphate or sodium bicarbonate, which works by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire. These extinguishers are versatile and effective in a variety of environments, making them a common choice for both residential and commercial use. However, they are not suitable for Class D (flammable metals) or Class K (cooking oils and fats) fires.
What type of fire extinguishher for gasoline and varnish?
Class B fire extinguishers are used to flammable fires (such as those caused by gasoline and varnish). They come in several types, such as carbon dioxide (works by displacing the oxygen in the room) or dry chemical extinguishers.
How do different fire extinguishers put out fires?
One group of fire extinguishers works by separating oxygen from the fire, for example by placing a non-flammable powder over the flame source. This works well for some grease fires. Another group of fire extinguishers works by displacing oxygen; fires will only burn most materials with atmospheric concentrations of oxygen above around 10%. These extinguishers use CO2 or nitrogen or Halon (tm) to displace the oxygen. This often works well around electrical fires. The technique is used around equipment that water or powders might destroy. Another type of extinguisher propels water at the fire, sometimes using pressure created when acid contacts a base like soda. The water cools the burning material to below the combustion point, and the water vapor helps displace oxygen that would feed the fire. This works well with wood and paper fires.
What was General Grant's first course of action in destroying the salt works in Virginia?
General Grant's first course of action to destroy the South's salt works in Virginia was to launch cavalry raids into southwestern Virginia. These raids also were designed to destroy the South's valuable railway links that transported salt to parts of Virginia.
What is the material used in ABC fire extingutior?
ABC fire extinguishers contain a dry chemical agent, typically a combination of ammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate, and/or sodium bicarbonate. This mixture is effective against Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. The powder works by interrupting the chemical reaction of combustion, smothering the fire, and cooling the materials involved.

What are the functions of fire extinguisher?
A fire extinguisher is a vital safety device used to control or extinguish small fires in emergency situations. It works by releasing a substance—such as foam, water, dry chemical, or CO₂—that cools the fire, removes oxygen, or interrupts the chemical reaction. At Sri Triveni Crafts, we emphasize the importance of knowing how and when to use fire extinguishers. That's why Fire Extinguisher Training is essential for workplaces, schools, and homes. Proper training ensures individuals can respond quickly and confidently during a fire emergency, reducing property damage and saving lives. Different types of fire extinguishers are designed for specific fire classes (A, B, C, D, and K), making it crucial to choose the right one for your environment. Understanding their functions through professional training enhances safety and compliance. For quality extinguishers and training, visit us at: sritrivenicrafts

How do you know when your circuit works?
You know your circuit works when it does what you designed it to do, and prefferably as little else as possible.
