Water Extinguishers  

Water extinguishers are used for class A fires.
They can not be used in a gaseous or flammable situation, where ignition is the key to the combustion.

Water with additive

Suitable for class A type fires involving combustible materials such as wood, paper and fabrics. This extinguisher gives up to 150% more fire fighting capability than conventional water and is 30% lighter.
   
AFFF  
Foam extinguishers are not effective against running fires, but are effective against contained fires, providing protection for class A and B fires.
   
Wet Chemical  
The Wet Chemical was designed to extinguish fires that could reach 500 degrees centigrade, such as class F cooking oil fires. It is also effective on class A fires involving freely burning materials, such as paper and wood.
   
CO2  

The CO2 extinguisher is effective on class B and electrical fires and is recognised for it's non damaging high performance and non conductivity.

It may be ineffective on class A fires as it may not displace enough oxygen to extinguish it.
   
Dry Powder  

Powder extinguishers are extremely effective at putting out class A, B, C and D* fires. However, they can mask out an escape route and damage surrounding equipment.

*class D (flammable metals) fires can be extinguished using specialist dry powder.
