Foam Fire Extinguishers - Key Points:

- Red Body (Can also be provided in Chrome finish)

- Suitable for Class A and Class B fires 

- Extinguishes fires by cooling and smothering

- NOT suitable for electrical fires unless specifically rated

Foam Fire Extinguishers are suitable for Class A fires (paper, wood & textiles) and Class B (flammable liquids).  The AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) foam works to extinguish fires by cooling and smothering the fire.

Foam fire extinguishers are not recommended for fighting Class F fires (involving, for example, cooking oils and grease), or fighting Class C fires (flammable gases, for example, butane and methane). It is also highly advised that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers or Dry Powder fire extinguishers are used on electrical fires.
