1. Water type, foam, ammonium phosphate dry powder, haloalkane type fire extinguishers should be used to extinguish Class A fires, that is, solid burning fires. Class A fire: refers to a solid substance fire. This substance tends to be organic in nature and generally produces glowing embers when burned. Such as wood, cotton, wool, linen, paper fires, etc.
2. Dry powder, foam, haloalkane, and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers should be used to extinguish class B liquid fires and meltable solid substance fires (it is worth noting here that chemical foam fire extinguishers cannot extinguish class B polar solvent fires. Home is good because the chemical foam is in contact with the organic solvent, the foam will be absorbed quickly, and the foam will disappear quickly, so that it cannot play the role of fire extinguishing. Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, etc. are all polar solvents). Class B fires: Refers to liquid fires and meltable solid substance fires. Such as gasoline, kerosene, crude oil, methanol, ethanol, asphalt, etc.

Class D fire: Refers to metal fires. Such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, titanium, aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc.
5. Phosphoric acid salt dry powder and haloalkane fire extinguish
