Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishers in Central Florida
Choosing the correct extinguisher for your specific needs is very important, as each class offers effective action against certain types of fire fuels or chemical/physical reactions. Dry chemical fire extinguishers are used to combat the chemical reaction of a fire by coating the material in an inert foam that blocks oxygen’s access to the fuel source. Dry chemical extinguishers are considered effective against A, B, and C class fires, with some dry chemical agents offering protection against class B and C fires only.
Understanding your protection needs ties directly into understanding fire classes, and what each class requires to extinguish or eliminate it. Dry chemical extinguishers are effective at handling:
- Class A fires – Fires that consume or are sparked by standard combustibles such as wood, fabrics and papers, and common trash.
- Class B fires – Fires that involve flammable liquids such as petroleum products, oils, solvents, and alcohols. Class B fires do not include cooking oils!
- Class C fires – Also known as an “electrical fire,” class C fires include fires sparked by overcharged appliances and electrical tools.
At United Fire Protection we offer sales, installation, and service for all standardized dry chemical extinguishers, including:
- Monoammonium phosphate – A multi-purpose extinguisher option, monoammonium phosphate is effective for smothering A, B, and C class fires.
- Sodium bicarbonate – Sodium bicarbonate extinguishers are effective for B and C class fires, but are not effective for class A fires, as they do not prevent re-flashing.
