Putting out a fire
involves expelling an agent from a handheld device known as a fire
extinguisher. It works upon the principle of removing one or more of the
elements required to maintain a fire, referred to as the fire triangle. The
triangle includes 3 elements, i.e. Fuel, heat and oxygen. The agent acts by
eliminating the heat by cooling the fuel or creates a barrier between the fuel
and the surrounding air thereby cutting the oxygen supply. Once the agent
breaks this triangle, the fire goes out. To eliminate the possibility of
rekindling, the agent produces a lasting effect on the fuel
Installing fire
extinguishers in homes, workplaces, factories, etc. is a necessity these days
and shouldn’t be taken as an option. Fire extinguishers are life-saving devices
which help stop a fire from spreading. It is a necessary precaution everyone
should take to save their property and their lives.
Before we can
understand the types of fire extinguishers, we need to know about the different
classes of fire:
Class A – a fire started with normal combustibles such as wood,
paper, and cloth are classified under this category.
Class B – a fire started with flammable and combustible
liquids and gases such as gasoline and paints are classified under this
category.
Class C – a fire started by energized electrical equipment
such as a short circuit in power cables are classified under this category.
Class D – a fire started by flammable metals such as Na, K
and Li are classified under this category.
Class K – the fire started in the kitchen, with cooking
ingredients like oil, fats etc. are classified under this category.
There are 8 types
of fire extinguishers which are used for different classes of fire:
Water & Foam
The water component
of this extinguisher removes the heat from the fire, while the foam component
removes the oxygen.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class A fires only.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide
supersedes the fire’s oxygen and, as the gas is contained under pressure it
creates a cold discharge upon release, which expels the heat of the fire too.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class B and C fires
Dry Chemical
This extinguisher
eliminates the chemical reaction of a fire and is the most used of all fire
extinguishers because of its usefulness across multiple classes.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class A, B and C fires.
Wet Chemical
This extinguisher
eliminates heat and creates a barrier between oxygen and fuel so a fire cannot
be re-ignited. The chemical is expelled as a mist, cooling the fire’s heat and
creating a blanket effect over the fuel.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class K fires (particularly good for fires started by
oils or fats)
Clean Agent
Also called
Halogenated extinguishers, these include halon agents and new, less ozone
depleting halocarbon agents, which extinguish a fire by disrupting its chemical
reaction.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class B and C fires.
Dry Powder
This works
similarly to the dry chemical extinguisher as the powder separates the fuel
from oxygen or removes the heat, but this extinguisher is only used to fight
combustible metal fires.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class D fires.
Water Mist
This extinguisher
takes away the heat of the fire only, thus breaking the fire triangle (heat,
fuel, and oxygen).
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class A and C fires.
Cartridge Operated
Dry Chemical
This extinguisher
disrupts the chemical reaction of the fire, and creates a barrier between the
oxygen and the fuel and, as the dry chemical extinguishers, works well on a
variety of fire types.
This type of fire
extinguisher works for Class A, B and C fires.
