Which Fire Extinguisher Is Best?

In this episode of The Modern Rogue, the hosts explore various types of fire extinguishers and how they should be used on different kinds of fires. There are several classes of fires, including A, B, C, D, and K, and each class requires a different type of extinguisher.

Class A fires are traditional fireplace fires, typically involving wood and other flammable materials. Class B fires are chemical fires that burn hot and require a special kind of extinguisher. Electrical fires are class C, and class D fires involve chemical reactions that are uncontrolled and can be quite dangerous. Finally, class K fires involve animal fats and are typically associated with cooking fires.

The hosts go on to demonstrate several off-the-shelf fire extinguishers, each designed for a specific class of fire. They use dry chemical extinguishers, CO2 extinguishers, and water mist extinguishers to show how each type works and how it should be used in the event of a fire.
