02 · Fire Classes

Understanding the five fire classes.

Each fire class requires a specific extinguishing agent. Using the wrong type can be ineffective — or dangerous.

A
Class A

Ordinary combustibles — wood, paper, textiles, plastics, rubber. Cool with water or foam.

B
Class B

Flammable liquids — petrol, diesel, oils, paint, solvents. Smother with foam, DCP, or CO₂.

C
Class C

Flammable gases — methane, butane, propane, LPG. Shut off supply; use DCP if safe.

D
Class D

Combustible metals — magnesium, titanium, sodium swarf. Special dry-powder agents only.

K
Class K

Cooking media — animal fats and vegetable oils in commercial kitchens. Wet-chemical extinguishers.

03 · Extinguisher Types

Choosing the right extinguisher.

We supply and service the four most commonly required portable extinguisher types in South African workplaces.

Water

Class A only. Best for paper, wood, textiles. Cools the fuel below ignition temperature.

CO₂

Classes B & electrical. Clean, residue-free — ideal for offices, server rooms, and electrical fires.

DCP

Classes A, B, C. Dry Chemical Powder — the most versatile general-purpose extinguisher.

Foam (AFFF)

Classes A & B. Aqueous Film-Forming Foam — excellent for flammable liquid fires.
