Foam Fire Extinguishers are best for fire involving solids and burning liquids (Class B fires). Foam extinguishers are great at cooling fires, the spray of the foam helps break the connection between the flames and the fuels surface.<\/p>\n

\nFor solid fires point the nozzle at the base of the flames and sweep across the area of the fire.
\nFor liquid fires, point the nozzle at the rear of the container and allow the foam to build up and flow across the flames. Fully discharge the extinguisher to maximise the cooling effects. Warning<\/strong>, do not use water extinguishers on burning fat oil or any liquids.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Smothers the fire by creating a film on top of the fire.
\n\u2022 Cools the fire through evaporation of the water content in the foam.
\n\u2022 Excellent for burning liquids like petrol.
\n\u2022 Foam extinguishers are safe for use with electrical equipment if they had a successful dielectric test.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Not environmentally friendly.
\n\u2022 Not effective if the fuel is flowing in a stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
