19 Portable Fire Extinguishers Can be CARRIED to a fire - 5 to 30 pounds Limited in capacity, range and duration 1.5 to 25 pounds of extinguishing agent Typical range 3 to 15 feet Discharge their contents in only 5 to 30 seconds! NFPA rating, Arabic numerals according to efficiency 4A extinguishes twice as much Class A fire as a 2A Coast Guard uses Roman numerals : I - Smallest ( recreational small craft) V - Largest (high-hazard, commercial, ocean-going vessels) 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 19
20 Extinguisher Common features Carrying handle / operating lever Locking pin Pressure gauge Discharge nozzle or horn Label : Type (Water, C02, Dry Chemical) Instructions Classification data Special applications: - flammable metals ( Purple-K, Class-C for oil, gas, electric utility industries) 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 20
21 COMMON FIRE CLASSIFICATIONS Ordinary combustibles Paper,wood, most rubber, plastics and textiles. Flammable liquids Oil, gasoline, solvents Energized circuits Electrical equipment and computers 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 21
22 HOW THEY WORK: Works by cooling. Numerical rating indicates amount of agent, duration, range of discharge on test fires. Area of Class A fire which a non-expert can extinguish, with training! 1-A is equivalent on Class-A fire to five liters of water. 2-A contains has twice as much extinguishing agent. 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 22
23 HOW THEY WORK: Works by blanketing the fuel. Interrupts chemical reaction at fuel surface. Class B ratings signify the area in square feet of flammable liquid fire which the unit will extinguish when used by a non-expert. 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 23
24 HOW THEY WORK: Class C units have no numerical rating. A Class C rating doesn t imply any capacity. Only indicates that the extinguishing agent is non-conductive, safe on energized equipment. Works by displacing oxygen, smothering fire. 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 24
25 Specialized Units Class D units have no numerical rating. Are NOT multi-purpose rated. Used ONLY for combustible metal fires. Magnesium, lithium, sodium, uranium, etc. Are NOT recommended for home use. 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 25
26 MOST COMMON TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: WATER DRY CHEMICAL CO2 / Halon 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 26
27 WATER Class - A, Pressurized Water (APW) Water and compressed gas usually CO2 ONLY for Class A fires, wood/ paper NEVER for B,C,D Intensifies fire if used on burning liquids or reactive metals Risk of electric shock if used on energized equipment! Old soda-acid / water extinguishers OBSOLETE units should be replaced! 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 27
28 DRY CHEMICAL Multi-Purpose Rated, either B-C or ABC ABC dry-chemical recommended for general use: Home, recreational marine, automotive (1-A/10BC) Office, shop (2-A/15BC) Public assembly / commercial vehicles (10-A/80BC) Reduced risk of re-ignition Messy clean up is better than being burned up! 10 pound unit (2-A/15BC) discharges in 8-10 secs. Effective range 6 ft. (5lb. Unit), to 15 ft. (>10lb. Units) Test only upon approach to fire Powder may clog nozzle if squeezed and released. 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 28
29 C02 Most effective on Class B-C (liquids and electrical) SHORT range, typically 3 to 8 ft. Discharges QUICKLY! (5 to 10 seconds!) Use 1-2 second spurts DISPERSES QUICKLY! C02 less effective on Class A fires due to re-ignition Continue to apply after fire is out, as long as the gas lasts! CO2 units get DANGEROUSLY cold - hold properly Dangerously reactive on Class D metal fires! 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 29
30 Halon B-C Type, best choice for valuable electronics No residue, easy clean-up VERY SHORT range, only 3 to 6 ft. Discharges QUICKLY! (5 to 10 seconds!) Use 1-2 second spurts Disperses QUICKLY! Continue after flames are extinguished Halon weight-for-weight TWICE as effective as C02 Larger Halon 1211 extinguishers are also rated Class A 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 30
31 Remember the PASS word: Keep your back to an unobstructed exit, stand at least 6 to 8 feet from the fire, then: Pull the pin Aim low Squeeze the lever Sweep side-to-side 10/24/2002 (c) Virginia RACES, Inc. - All Rights Reserved 31
