Choosing the Right Fire Extinguisher

It is very important to choose the proper fire extinguisher. Extinguishing agents have differing attributes, which make them more or less appropriate for use, depending on the type of fire, and the setting in which they will be used. Some agents can be used on more than one type of fire, and some have very specialized characteristics that make them particularly suitable for a specific type of fire situation. The label on each Kidde fire extinguishers has a color coded box that helps users determine at a glance which type of fire it can be used on, the agent it contains, and the class of fire and type of setting for which it is listed. The chart below provides an overview of each extinguishing agent.
