   What type of fire extinguisher do I Need?

   • Water fire extinguishers are the most common extinguisher type for class A fire risk. Most premises will require either water or foam extinguishers. The water has a cooling effect on the fuel, causing it to burn much more slowly until the flames are eventually extinguished. In fact, most buildings need either water or foam extinguishers.

   Can a fire extinguisher be used on a Class A fire?

   • In a nutshell, these involve cooking oils and fats. They can also be used on Class A fires although it is more common to have a foam or water extinguisher for this type of fire risk. Wet chemical extinguishers create a layer of foam on the surface of the burning oil or fat, preventing oxygen from fuelling the fire any further.
