CLASS A

SOLID MATERIAL FIRES

Fires from solid materials, generally of an organic nature, whose combustion produces embers.

SOLID FUELS (wood, paper, coal, fabrics, shavings, leather, rubber and derivatives, etc.).

Combustion occurs with the consumption of the fuel, often luminescent like embers, and with low flame emission. In this case, the extinguishing action can be carried out with "substances that can also be deposited on the fuel (extinguisher powder) which is able to support the extinguishing agent without swallowing it and/or sinking it inside.

EXTINGUISHERS: WATER, FOAM, and CHEMICAL POWDERS.

CLASS B

FIRE FROM FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

Fires involving liquids or liquefiable solids.

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (gasoline, diesel, alcohol, etc.).

Combustion occurs with the consumption of fuel, often luminescent like embers, and with low flame emission. In this case, extinguishing can be achieved with substances that can also settle on the fuel (extinguisher powder), which is able to support the extinguishing agent without swallowing it and/or sinking it inside.

EXTINGUISHERS: CO2, FOAM, and CHEMICAL POWDERS.

CLASS C

FLAMMABLE GAS FIRES

FLAMMABLE GASES (propane, methane, hydrogen, etc.)

The characteristic of this fuel is that it has neither shape nor volume of its own.

Combustible gases are very dangerous when mixed with air, as they can cause explosions. Extinguishing is achieved by cooling and separating the gas-air mixture. In fact, outside of very specific mixing ratios, combustible gas does not burn.

EXTINGUISHERS: CO2 and CHEMICAL POWDERS.

CLASS D

FIRE FROM FLAMMABLE METALS

FLAMMABLE METALS (magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.).

Class D fires "refer to very specific types of reactions involving solids, mostly metals, which have the characteristic of interacting, even violently, with common extinguishing agents," in particular with water.The most common combustible elements that give rise to this category of combustion are light alkaline earth metals such as magnesium, manganese, aluminum (the latter only if in fine powder form), and alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, and lithium. Reactions involving peroxides, chlorates, and perchlorates are also classified as fires in this category.

EXTINGUISHERS: CHEMICAL POWDERS.

CLASS F

OIL AND FAT FIRES

Fires involving cooking equipment, cooking oil, and vegetable or animal fats in cooking appliances: "introduced by the UNI EN 2:2005 standard;

According to the rules concerning EU regulatory measures, the EN2 standard has the "status of Italian national standard," which entails obligations of compliance and observance.

The UNI EN 3-7:2008 standard specifies that powder and CO2 fire extinguishers should not be used for class F fires and their use for such types of fires is considered dangerous.

For this reason, the above-mentioned extinguishers must not be tested in accordance with UNI EN 3-7:2008 and must not be marked with the class F pictogram.

EXTINGUISHERS: FOAM
