Not normal foam but carbon dioxide foam from a fire extinguisher. This special foam covers the fire and takes all the oxygen out of it, and with no oxygen, no fire!!!
What category is suitable for a fire extinguisher?
There are several categories of fire extinguishers. It depends on where the extinguisher is likely to be used and on what type of fire is to be expected. For example: a soda and water extinguisher is commonly used for general type fires. But, due to the risk of being electrocuted, a soda and water extinguisher would be dangerous to use round high voltage electrical equipment - so a carbon dioxide extinguisher would be used instead. On oil fires, a foam extinguisher would be best, as a soda water extinguisher would simply spread the area of the oil fire, and even increase the intensity of the flames, while the foam would smother the flames, cutting off the oxygen to feed the fire.

What would happen if you used a foam fire extinguisher on a liquid fire?
Using a foam fire extinguisher on a liquid fire can be effective, as foam is designed to smother flames and create a barrier between the fuel and the air. However, it's crucial to ensure that the liquid is compatible with foam extinguishing agents, as some flammable liquids may react adversely. If the foam does not properly cover the fuel, it might spread the fire instead of extinguishing it. Always check the fire classification and use the appropriate extinguisher for the specific type of fire.
