The little letter "b" on a fire extinguisher indicates that it is suitable for use on flammable liquids and gases, such as oil, gasoline, and solvents. Fire extinguishers categorized with a "B" rating are specifically designed to combat Class B fires, which involve combustible liquids. This designation helps users quickly identify the appropriate extinguisher for specific types of fire hazards. Always check the label for specific instructions and limitations.
The numbers on fire extinguishers indicate their classification and effectiveness against specific types of fires. For example, a fire extinguisher marked with a "2A:10B:C" label is effective for Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. The number before the letter indicates the size or capacity of the extinguisher and its effectiveness rating for that class. Always choose the appropriate extinguisher based on the type of fire you may encounter.
