The letter indicates both the class of fire extinguisher and the class of fire it is designed to put out. These extinguishers work by starving the fire of oxygen, eventually putting the fire out. Specialist fire extinguishers for metal fires work by smothering the fire with a non-reactive agent, which forms a crust and excludes air from contact with the metals. For example, a fire extinguisher labelled ABC is effective against class A, B and C fires. Amerex ABC or Multi-Purpose fire extinguishers utilize a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical. Some dry chemical extinguishers contain dangerous chemicals, and all of them leave behind a mess to clean up. This does not leave a harmful residue, but is not effective on class A fires. Halon is an extremely clean agent that leaves no residue, making it a good agent for use around computers and other sensitive equipment.

Monoammonium phosphate is a finely ground extinguishing agent, which looks like yellow talcum powder.

You can carry this portable CO detector with you anywhere you wish to monitor carbon dioxide levels. Generally, you can tell with a glance which type an extinguisher is hanging on the wall, or in the cabinet, just by looking at its shape. Because the CO2 is expelled as a gas the extinguisher has a very limited operation range of about 4 to 6 feet. Operation is similar to ABC, Halon, and Carbon Dioxide extinguishers. Homeowners should also take special care when buying fire extinguishers to pick a type that is able to deal with most fires likely to start around the home. You must take care with how much CO2 is being discharged in small, confined locations. Using the incorrect agent can allow the fire to reignite after apparently being extinguished successfully. It is important to know and understand each extinguisher’s different uses as using the wrong type of fire extinguisher could be fatal. Using the wrong extinguishing agent may feed the fire instead of suppressing it. This means that if you use it on the wrong type of fire you will spread the fire faster because of the oxygen in the tank. If you do not know the type of fire, the type of extinguisher or how to use it, evacuate the building safely and call the fire department. Always make sure to keep a safe distance, about 6 feet away from the fire and always use the proper fire extinguisher for the class type of fire, otherwise it may not work.
