Water Spray Fire Extinguishers are best for fire involving organic solid material. Water is great at cooling a fire, the fine spray created by the nozzle allows for the water to have a larger surface area in contact with the fire at any one time. This makes the extinguisher more efficient and faster at removing the heat and slowing the spread of the fire.<\/p>\n
