Fire Extinguishers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A fire extinguisher is a pressurized storage container for an extinguishing agent like water or chemicals. It is designed to put out a small fire, not a big one.
Extinguishers are labeled A, B, C or D according to the material which is burning (ie wood, gas, electrical, or metals).
You need an extinguisher at home
If you plan to buy one extinguisher, a multipurpose dry chemical labeled ABC puts out most types of fires - wood, paper, and cloth, flammable liquid, or electrical fires.
Extinguishers should be installed away from potential fire hazards and near an escape route.
If there's a fire, call the fire department first. Get everyone outside. Then fight a small fire only. If the fire gets large, get out. Close doors to slow the fire spread.
Make sure you don't use one type of extinguisher on another type of fire - it may make the fire worse. Common errors (they can be fatal) are using water (A) on a grease or on an electrical fire (B or C).
