    NY Fire Consultants, Inc. NY Fire Safety Institute 481 Eighth Avenue, Suite 618 New York, NY 10001 (212) 239 9051 (212) 239 9052 fax Fire Extinguisher Training The Fire Triangle In order to understand how fire extinguishers work, you need to understand some characteristics of fire. Four things must be present at the same time in order to produce fire: 1. Enough oxygen to sustain combustion, 2. Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature, 3. Some sort of fuel or combustible material, and 4. The chemical, exothermic reaction that is fire. Oxygen, heat, and fuel are frequently referred to as the "fire triangle." Add in the fourth element, the chemical reaction, and you actually have a fire "tetrahedron." The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished. Essentially, fire extinguishers put out fire by taking away one or more elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron. Fire safety, at its most basic, is based upon the principle of keeping fuel sources and ignition sources separate Not all fires are the same, and they are classified according to the type of fuel that is burning. If you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on the wrong class of fire, you can, in fact, make matters worse. It is therefore very important to understand the four different fire classifications. Class A - Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics Solid combustible materials that are not metals. (Class A fires generally leave an Ash.) Class B - Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, acetone Any non-metal in a liquid state, on fire.

  • Types of Fire Extinguisher in Australia – All You Need to Know (February 02
    Types of fire extinguisher in Australia – all you need to know (February 02, 2018) There are 5 main fire extinguisher types in Australia – Water, Foam, Dry Powder, CO2 and Wet Chemical. You should have the right types of fire extinguisher for your house or business premises, or you may not meet current regulations. The various types of fire extinguisher put out fires started with different types of fuel – these are called ‘classes’ of fire. The fire risk from the different classes of fire in your home or your business premises will determine which fire extinguisher types you need. You will also need to make sure that you have the right size and weight of fire extinguisher as well as the right kind. Whilst there are 5 main types of fire extinguisher, there are different versions of Dry Powder extinguishers, meaning there are a total of 8 fire extinguisher types to choose from. The 6 types of fire extinguisher are: – Water – Foam – Dry Powder – Standard – Dry Powder – High performance – Carbon Dioxide (‘CO2’) – Wet Chemical There is no one extinguisher type which works on all classes of fire. Below is a summary of the classes of fire, and a quick reference chart showing which types of extinguisher should be used on each. We then provide a detailed explanation of each type of fire extinguisher below. The classes of fire There are six classes of fire: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, ‘Electrical’, and Class F. – Class A fires – combustible materials: caused by flammable solids, such as wood, paper, and fabric – Class B fires – flammable liquids: such as petrol, turpentine or paint – Class C fires – flammable gases: like hydrogen, butane or methane – Class D fires – combustible metals: chemicals such as magnesium, aluminium or potassium – Electrical fires – electrical equipment: once the electrical item is removed, the fire changes class – Class F fires – cooking oils: typically a chip-pan fire Water and Foam Water and Foam fire extinguishers extinguish the fire by taking away the heat element of the fire triangle.
