• fire extinguisher for electrical fire

  When a fire occurs in an electrical unit such as a kitchen appliance, power panel, Server room or other media device, the electricity powering the equipment acts as a constant source of spark or ignition. Water and water-based foams are not capable of putting out class C fires because they cannot counteract the constant, electrical ignition source. Because water conducts electrical currents, using water on a Class C fire can result in a spread of the electricity and therefore the fire’s source of ignition. If the electricity is shut off, then a class C fire is considered a class A fire.
