Water Fire Extinguishers Water Fire Extinguishers are suitable for most
Class A fires, caused by the combustion of materials such as
wood, straw, textiles, paper, coal etc. but remember they must NEVER be used on fires involving flammable liquids or electrical equipment as: -
- The water can conduct electricity back to you.
- Water makes fat or oil fires worse
Water is a fast and efficient means of extinguishing these materials. It works by having a rapid cooling effect, so that insufficient heat remains to sustain burning and continuous ignition ceases.
