Fire Extinguishers

The blue extinguisher has a dry powder content.

It's most suitable for use on fire from, wood, paper, fabrics,ETC.

Please see the related link below for the uses of all the coloured extinguishers.

No, Class A fires are those fires that occur involving paper and wood

Class B= flammable liquids and gases

fixed assets

C

Yes, the output of a CO2 extinguisher will be extremely cold and can cause immediate and serious injury if directed at a person's skin or eyes or inhaled.

No

we can control the fire by the release of carbon dioxide which can be done by a fire extinguishers

He would do anything for you.

very carefully!

Only fairly small ones as they run out of the foam fairly fast. They are to be used when a fire is first detected.

Below is an article about fire extinguishers.

ABC

The term impulse response can refer to a few different things. It could perhaps pertain to a quick response that someone has to a specific situation such as grabbing a fire extinguisher when one sees flames. This term can also apply to signal processing with something such as an audio system.

When you get up to the red ring hit the space bar and it will open. :)

The fuel (oil, gasoline, etc) is typically trapped in an absorbent material or lying on a surface that is preventing it from burning (by sinking away heat).

Petroleum products have lower densities than water, i.e. they float on top of water. When you add water, it soaks down into the materials present, which causes the fuel to float to the surface. The high temperature causes the water to boil and project bits of fuel and water droplets into the air. If it's hot enough, this will cause the fire to blaze up; otherwise it usually just spreads the fire around.

Hence, fires caused by petroleum products are extinguished by solid or gas fire suppressants (sand, foam ect.) as it forms a layer over the petroleum product on fire, thereby, cutting out the oxygen supply needed for it to continue to burn.

Most pins as fastened to the trigger with an easy to break plastic fastener that also holds the inspection tag on the tank or trigger base. This prevents the pin from falling out and the extinguisher from being discharged by accident.

ABC, BC or C. It is often best to disconnect the electrical power and use an extinguisher appropriate for whatever type of fuel happens to be burning (A or B).

Do NOT use a water-type A fire extinguisher on an energized electrical fire.

Water is an extinguisher of a burning flame.

Answer: FUEL: Like us, fires die without food. Firemen exploit this principle in forest and brush fires when they create a firebreak in the path of the main fire. In a kitchen setting, eliminating the fuel may simply mean turning off the gas. In other settings, however, eliminating the fuel may be difficult if not impossible.

OXYGEN: Once again, like us, a fire must breathe. Toss a shovelful of dirt or a fire blanket over a fire, and you smother it. The oxygen level, incidentally, need not go down to zero for a fire to suffocate. If you reduce the oxygen level from the normal 21 percent in the air around us to 15 percent, many substances-flammable liquids, for example, and even some solids-will no longer burn.

They have changed our world alot . They have saved people's live many times a day and still are great for safety.

try and cut off the oxygen to it if that doesn't work add water to it if that isn't working ring the emergency services

No, you should not. Dry blanket only, as a wet blanket will trap hot steam very close to your airways, and burning your lungs will pretty much be fatal.

Portable fire extinguishers weighing 40 lbs or less must be mounted no less than 4 inches from the floor. Over 40 lbs is on wheels, sitting on the floor.
