Class mainly refers to types of fire that the extinguisher may put off.
1. “Class A” extinguisher is used only on the regular combustible material like paper, wood and cloth. Usually, their charge comprises of the carbonated water that’s cheap and sufficient for fire but they are also quite risky when used against greasy fire or electric fire.
2. “Class B” extinguishers are used on the flammable liquids, which include oil, gasoline, grease, etc. Generally the charge comprises of the powder sodium bicarbonate or baking soda.
3. “Class C” extinguishers are meant for electric fires. Most of them comprise of dry Ammonium Phosphate. Some of these extinguishers comprise of halon gas. But they are not being manufactured now for the residential areas due to the adverse effect of halon on the ozone layer of the earth. These extinguishers are suggested to be used around costly electric gears like televisions, computers, etc.
