fire extinguisher type

CO2 extinguisher Council

There are many different types of fire extinguisher available. Of these, CO2 models are one of the most common. These can be identified by a red casing with a black band to indicate that contain carbon dioxide. The content will also be written on the extinguisher, usually in white letters. You need to know what type of extinguisher you have to use correctly.

Before even reaching the extinguisher is to allow all other in the area know there is a fire. If an alarm after warning us of the construction. If no alarm, telling someone to spread the word. Call the fire department, well before attempting to extinguish the fire, and unless you know what to do, leave the fire to them.

Next, determine if a CO2 extinguisher is suitable for this fire. These extinguishers work in most fires: flammable liquids and gases and electrical fires, and normal fire. The pressure These extinguishers work can actually cause damage and small pieces of ice can fly out as well. CO2 extinguishers should not be used around computers due to the possibility of damages. Another type of fire extinguisher should be used in these situations. These extinguishers are a great option for electrical fires and fat, as leave no hazardous waste. Some dry extinguishers containing no hazardous chemicals and they all do something of a mess.

These extinguishers are less than ideal for paper, plastic and cardboard, fires, because it can not displace enough oxygen to extinguish the fire. These extinguishers can not always be cool fires sufficient to prevent re-ignition. They are very useful, however, electrical fires and oil fires. Do not use these fire extinguishers metal flammable, which can increase the speed of reaction.

If you need a CO2 extinguisher also put out this fire, you can start pulling the marker to release the shutter. Move the discharge horn up to a right angle to its body and then support your body. Do not hold the horn with my hand – so cold that they reach for Download your hand could become frozen to it. If the fire is established, do not try to turn it off – leave immediately and call the authorities instead. You are not required to extinguish a fire, do not be afraid to leave if it is beyond their ability to control.

CO2 extinguishers are a lot of noise during use, so be ready. Try the base of the flames when the material is burned, more than at the edges of the flame. Again, if you are unsure of their ability to extinguish the fire, leave immediately and contact the authorities. With fire prevention is always better than cure. In the case of a fire, you can use a blanket of fire – this works well to put out small fires before they spread. Remember to keep the blanket so as to keep your hands full and is left to fire for at least half an hour.

Do not walk through an area where the fire has been, even if it seems out – can reignite the flames. Recharge your fire extinguishers so soon as possible after use to ensure they are ready in case of future fires. Ask your CO2 extinguisher regularly to ensure that is always ready for use.
