FIRE EXTINGUISHER CLASSIFICATIONS

It’s important to understand how ﬁre extinguishers are classiﬁed in order to choose the correct model. BRK Brands, Inc. offers a wide range of residential, marine, commercial, and automotive ﬁre extinguishers to meet the needs of your customers.

This Fire Extinguisher

TRASH–WOOD–PAPER

Fire extinguishers with a Class A rating are effective against ﬁres involving paper, wood, textiles, and plastics. The primary chemical used to ﬁght these ﬁres is monoammonium phosphate, because of its ability to smother ﬁres in these types of materials.

LIQUIDS

Fire extinguishers with a Class B rating are effective against ﬂammable liquid ﬁres. These can be ﬁres where cooking liquids, oil, gasoline, kerosene, or paint have become ignited. Two commonly used chemicals are effective in ﬁghting these types of ﬁres. Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the ﬁre, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the ﬁre.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for ﬁres in “live” electrical equipment. Both monoammonium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate are commonly used to ﬁght this type of ﬁre because of their nonconductive properties.
