Foam Fire Extinguisher

Foam Fire Extinguisher

Foam fire extinguishers are one of the most common types of fire extinguisher and are generally used for fires involving flammable solids and liquids.

Pros:

Non-toxic, non-damaging to most materials, largely safe if accidentally used on electrical fires (although this is not recommended), designed to prevent the re-ignition fires, lighter in weight than the equivalent water extinguisher.

Cons:

Damaging to electrical appliances. Dangerous if used on cooking fires or flammable gas fires.
