What Are Foam Fire Extinguishers For?

Here at Simply Extinguishers we understand that knowing which fire extinguisher to use on a particular Class of fire can be confusing. That’s why all of the extinguishers available on our website have a detailed description highlighting what they should and shouldn’t be used for.
 

Classes of Fire:
 

● Class A fires - Combustible materials: flammable solids, such as wood, paper, and fabric.

● Class B fires - Flammable liquids: such as petrol, turpentine or paint.

● Class C fires - Flammable gases: e.g. butane or methane.

● Class D fires - Combustible metals: chemicals such as magnesium, aluminium or potassium.

● Class E fires - Electrical equipment: once the electrical item is removed, the class changes.

● Class F fires - Cooking oils: e.g. a chip-pan fire
