Water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are ineffective on alkali metal fires because they can react violently with alkali metals, such as sodium or potassium, and actually make the fire worse.

Class B fire extinguishers are best suited for fires what kind of flyer class B fire extinguishers are best suited for fires what kind of fires?

Class B fire extinguishers are best suited for fires involving flammable liquids, such as gasoline, oil, grease, and solvents. These extinguishers typically use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide agents to effectively smother and extinguish the flames. They should not be used on fires involving ordinary combustibles (Class A) or electrical equipment (Class C) unless specifically rated for those classes as well. Always check the extinguisher label for specific applications.


What fire extinguisher to use for a gas fire?

A Class B fire extinguisher. Below is an article about the different types of fire extinguishers.


Class C extinguisher?

Class C is never seen alone, as it is not a fuel type. Rather it is a complicating factor in fighting a fire of another type, as it means that the fire contains energized electrical components. A fire extinguisher marked with class C simply means that the extinguishing agent will not carry electricity and shock you or others in the area. Dry chemical extinguishers are available in ABC and BC flavors. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are rated BC. Water mist extinguishers are rated AC, but are rather rare outside of hospitals.

What are the classes of Fire extingishers?

Class A fires (paper, wood plastic, etc) can be put out by water, dry chem, or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Class B (flammable liquids like oils and natural gases) can be put out with dry chem and carbon dioxide. Class C (electrical fires) can be put out only by dry chem. Dry chem is the only extinguisher that does all three of them however it is not recommended on Class A fires because it is not useful in putting out sparks.


How would you put put a fire out if you were a firefighter?

Firefighters use several kinds of fire-fighting chemicals: For ordinary fires: water or a Class A extinguisher For fires involving combustible chemicals such as gasoline, grease, or oil (Class B): C02 (carbon dioxide), dry chemical extinguishers such as foam, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, or monoammonium phosphate For fires involving electrical equipment (Class C): C02 or dry chemical extinguishers such as the above -- never use water on an electrical fire!
