While nitrogen is an inert gas and capable of putting fire out it is very impractical to use as a fire suppression agent. All products used in portable fire extinguishers can be seen when discharged either as a liquid or a powder so you can see where it is going. All of these products are also heavier than air so they will always tend to sink downward towards the base of the flames (at least for a short while). Nitrogen cannot be seen and is not heavier than air making it a very poor choice.

Is nitrogen gas used in a Dry powder fire extinguisher?
Yes, portable dry chemical fire extinguishers are pressurized by means of nitrogen (expellant gas used to discharge the extinguishing agent from its container). Carbon dioxide can also be used as expellant gas. Usually carbon dioxide is used for temperatures ranges of 0oC to +49oC, and nitrogen for extreme temperature ranges of -54oC to +99oC.
How can a fire extinguisher be effectively used to combat a wood fire?
To effectively combat a wood fire using a fire extinguisher, follow these steps: Pull the pin to unlock the extinguisher. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent. Sweep the nozzle from side to side to cover the entire fire with the agent. Remember to always stand a safe distance away from the fire and evacuate if the fire becomes uncontrollable.
Why nitrogen in dcp extinguisher?
Nitrogen is used in dry chemical powder (DCP) extinguishers as a propellant to expel the extinguishing agent effectively. It is an inert gas, which means it does not support combustion, making it safe for use in fire suppression. Additionally, nitrogen helps maintain the integrity of the dry chemical agent by preventing moisture absorption, ensuring it remains effective during storage.
How should a fire extinguisher be used to safely extinguish a metal fire?
To safely extinguish a metal fire using a fire extinguisher, follow these steps: Use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Stand at a safe distance from the fire and aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flames. Sweep the extinguishing agent back and forth across the fire until it is completely out. Do not use water or a regular fire extinguisher on a metal fire, as it can make the fire worse.
What type of fire extinguisher is used on a gasoline fire?
You need to use a Class B extinguisher on flammable liquids.
What is acronym PASS in fire?
The acronym PASS is a fire safety mnemonic used for operating a fire extinguisher. It stands for Pull the pin, Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent, and Sweep the nozzle from side to side. This method helps ensure that the extinguisher is used effectively to combat a fire.
What is class c fire extinguisher is used for?

Which fire extinguisher supplier does a firestation use?
There are two main types of fire extinguishers: stored pressure and cartridge-operated. In stored pressure units, the expellant is stored in the same chamber as the firefighting agent itself. Depending on the agent used, different propellants are used. With dry chemical extinguishers, nitrogen is typically used; water and foam extinguishers typically use air. Stored pressure fire extinguishers are the most common type
