Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
While a wet chemical fire extinguisher is capable of putting out class A and B fires (those caused by organic materials and flammable liquids), they’re most notable for being able to extinguish class F fires (those caused by cooking oils and fats). Where water or foam would simply vaporise when applied to a cooking oil fire, the wet chemical solution contained in these wet chemical fire extinguishers is capable of cooling the blaze and starving it of oxygen. A chemical extinguisher is also been designed in such a way that they don’t splash or spread the offending oil as the solution is applied.
When using a wet chemical fire extinguisher, it’s important to deploy the entire contents of the unit to let the solution go to work and prevent any chance of reignition.
Wet chemical extinguishers can be distinguished by the yellow band that runs around the top of the unit. It’s also worth noting that not all wet chemical extinguishers can tackle class B fires. You should check the front label of the extinguisher or call your provider if you’re uncertain.
