Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are fundamental equipment that help protecting lives and facilities in the case of a fire. By understanding their types, how to use them, and the importance of their maintenance, everyone can be better prepared to face such emergency situations. Portable fire extinguishers are devices designed to extinguish small fires by directing a spray or stream of extinguishing agent at the flames. The most common types of fire extinguishers are water, foam, ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher, and Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Each type is designed to extinguish specific kinds of fires, such as those caused by flammable liquids or electrical equipment. It is important to have the appropriate type of industrial fire extinguisher for the potential fire hazards in a given area and to properly maintain fire extinguishers to ensure they will work when needed.
