It is of utmost importance to use appropriate extinguisher for the type of substance burning (wood, oil, electrics, etc.) as indicated by the classification below:

Class A: suitable for combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard and most plastics.

Class B: required when the fire involves flammable or combustible liquids such as petrol, kerosene, grease and oil.

Class C: best suited for fires involving electrical equipment such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. NB: Never use water to extinguish class C fires!

Class D: for fires involving chemicals and combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium.

Class F: designed for fires that involve cooking oils, trans-fats or fats in cooking appliances that are typically found in restaurants.

Various extinguishing agents are tailored to specific classes of fire, making it essential to evaluate the hazards present in the area you aim to protect. This assessment ensures that the extinguisher you have on hand will be most effective during a fire emergency.
