Fire Extinguishers – Use, Types & Placement
A fire extinguisher is your first line of defense in an emergency—if you know how to use it. Let’s dive into the classes of fire extinguishers:
Class A: For ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, cloth)
Class B: For flammable liquids (grease, gasoline, oil)
Class C: For electrical equipment fires
Class D: For combustible metals (magnesium, titanium)
Class F (or K): For cooking oils and fats (often in commercial kitchens)
