Electric fires are particularly challenging to combat. As they are caused due to electronic malfunctions, fused wires, or overloaded electric charges, they can be very dangerous. In addition, such fires cannot be extinguished using a water-based fire extinguisher. Thus, the commercial facilities need to install specialized fire extinguishers in NYC to combat such fire threats. Fire extinguishers are classified into different classes depending on the type of fires they can be used to extinguish. There are five types of fire extinguishers, namely Class A, B, C, D, and K, each used to smother a particular kind of fire. Therefore, it is crucial to know which type of fire extinguisher should be used for different fires. For example, Class C fire extinguishers are used to combat electric fires.
