Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are portable devices used to combat small fires in their early stages, preventing them from spreading. They contain various extinguishing agents such as water, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry powder, or wet chemicals, each designed for specific types of fires. Fire extinguishers are classified by the types of fires they can combat, including Class A (combustibles like wood and paper), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (electrical fires), and more. Proper usage involves the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim the nozzle, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep across the fire. They are vital for personal and workplace safety.
