Not all kinds of fires can be extinguished with water. Thus, different types of fire extinguishers are required to eliminate various types of fires. Depending on the nature of the business and cause of the potential fire threat, the fire extinguishers installed in the building may contain water, dry chemicals, wet chemicals, dry powder type extinguishing agent, foam, wet mist, CO2, or Halogenated agents. These different types of extinguishing agents are ideal for various fires while unsuitable to use for others. Thus, it is crucial to know which type of extinguishing agent is suitable for particular kinds of fire threats.
