Fires come in 6 different classes:

Water Extinguisher

Suitable for Class A Fires only, water extinguishers take away the heat element from combustible materials such as wood, paper or general trash.

Foam Extinguisher

Foam agents help to eliminate heat, and separate oxygen from other elements. It is useful in both Class A and B fires, while its effectiveness is limited in Class F fires.

Powder Extinguisher

Powder extinguishers involve dry chemicals, and such extinguishers are often used in homes. It is most effective in Class A, B and C fires.

CO₂ Extinguisher

CO₂ extinguishers use carbon dioxide to extinguish electrical fires, or flammable liquid fires (Class B and E). The extinguisher is highly pressurized, and utilizes the property of non-flammability of CO₂ for its function.

Wet Chemical Extinguisher

Wet Chemical Extinguishers are very useful for Class A and Class F fires, designed especially to quell fires started by cooking oils and fatty materials.
