The best type of fire extinguisher for use on flammable liquid fires is a portable fire extinguisher that can extinguish every single class of fire as defined by EN3 (A-B-E-D-F), NFPA/ANSI/UL (A-B-C-D-K) standards. This class of extinguisher should also be capable of extinguishing, in the flammable liquids class (B), both polar and non-polar fuels (polar: alcohols, ethers and esters; non-pollar: gasoline, etc.). In-depth research will show that in the last 100-years only a new Technology known as FFC (Fire Fighting Catalyst) by FireStopper® has produced the only reliable, independently tested and rated, listed, all fire-class effective fire extinguisher that meets the above requirements and more. As an added bonus, this new water-based "Green" Technology is freeze resistant to -100°F (-73.3°C) without harmful anti-freeze additives usable in the harshest environments of the planet.
What else can I help you with?
What class of fire extinguisher is appropriate for a fire involving a flammable liquid?
Use a foam extinguisher to smother the fire without spreading it.
How much flammable liquid will a 10 b fire extinguisher put out?
Approximately ten square feet of surface of a Class B flammable liquid fire.
A fire extinguisher is labeled B-I. What type of fire will be put out by this extinguisher?
Burning liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, paint, acetone, and so on.
What are the consequences of selecting and applying a wrong type of extinguisher when fighting a fire involving a flammable liquid?
you will die!
Is fire extinguisher foam flammable?
no
What fire do use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on?
A CO2 fire extinguisher will work on flammable liquid and electrical fires only. If used on any other type of fire they will just give it more oxygen and it will spread.
Water will not extinguish most flammable liquid fires?
That's correct. Water can react with flammable liquids, spreading the fire instead of extinguishing it. It is best to use a fire extinguisher specifically designed for flammable liquid fires, such as a foam or CO2 extinguisher, to put out these fires effectively.
Is CO2 flamable?
no it is not flammable. Its actually an fire extinguisher
What does the b stand for on a fire extinguisher?
flammable liquids
What type of fire would you use a powder fire extinguisher for?
There is no liquid powder extinguisher on the market.
What are the consequence of in foam incorrect fire extinguisher on fire?
Using an incorrect fire extinguisher, such as a foam extinguisher on a fire involving flammable liquids or electrical equipment, can worsen the situation. Foam extinguishers are not suitable for electrical fires, as they can conduct electricity and pose a serious risk of electrocution. Additionally, applying foam to flammable liquid fires might spread the fire instead of extinguishing it, leading to larger flames and increased danger. It's crucial to use the appropriate extinguisher type for the specific fire class to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What type of fire extinguisher is used on a gasoline fire?
You need to use a Class B extinguisher on flammable liquids.
