FAQs

What is a foam fire extinguisher used for?
"A foam fire extinguisher (identified by its cream label) is mainly used for Class B fires involving flammable liquids like petrol, oil, and paints. It is also effective on Class A fires such as wood, paper, and other solid materials.
The foam creates a thick blanket over the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply while also cooling the burning material. This helps stop the flames quickly and reduces the risk of the fire starting again."
"Foam extinguishers are suitable for:
Class A fires – wood, paper, cloth, and certain plastics
Class B fires – flammable liquids like petrol, oil, diesel, and paint
The foam spreads across the surface of the fire, sealing it from oxygen and cooling the fuel underneath. However, it should not be used on live electrical equipment unless the extinguisher is clearly marked as safe for that purpose."
"Most foam extinguishers use Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) technology. When discharged, they release a water-based foam that forms a thick layer over the burning material.
This foam works in three ways:
- Smothers the fire by cutting off oxygen
- Cools the surface to lower the temperature
- Seals flammable vapors to prevent re-ignition
This makes foam extinguishers especially effective for liquid fires."
"Foam fire extinguishers are available in different sizes to match various risk levels and environments:
- 6 litre – Most commonly used for offices and commercial spaces
- 9 litre – Suitable for medium-risk areas
- 45 litre – Ideal for industrial settings
- 60 litre – Designed for high-risk industrial applications
Choosing the right size depends on the type of premises and fire risk involved."
"Foam fire extinguishers are often referred to by different names in the industry, including:
- AFFF foam fire extinguishers
- AFFF fire extinguishers
- Spray foam fire extinguishers
All these terms usually describe extinguishers that use foam-based technology to tackle liquid and solid fires."
"Water fire extinguishers are best suited for Class A fires, which involve solid combustible materials like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics.
They work by cooling the burning material and lowering its temperature below the ignition point. However, they should never be used on electrical fires or fires involving flammable liquids."
"No, water fire extinguishers should not be used on electrical equipment. Water conducts electricity, which can cause serious electric shock and potentially worsen the situation.
For electrical fires, it is safer to use a CO2 extinguisher or a dry chemical powder extinguisher, as these do not conduct electricity."
No, water extinguishers are not suitable for flammable liquid fires such as petrol or oil. Water can cause the liquid to spread, making the fire larger and more dangerous.
"Water extinguishers are commonly installed in places where solid combustible materials are present, such as:
- Offices
- Schools
- Homes
- Warehouses
- Public buildings
They are ideal for environments where the main fire risk involves materials like paper, wood, or fabric."
"Yes, water fire extinguishers are generally safe because they contain no harmful chemicals. They are non-toxic and leave no hazardous residue behind.
This makes them suitable for use in homes, kitchens, schools, and other areas where children, pets, or vulnerable individuals may be present."
