FIRE <br /> There are different methods of putting fires out for different types of fires. For example, <br /> water would not be used to put out an oil fire because oil and water do not mix and the <br /> water would only spread the oil and fire. The following is a list of the different types or <br /> classes of fires and the corresponding fire extinguishers. <br /> TYPES OF FIRES TYPES OF EXTINGUISHERS <br /> CLASS A: Ordinary paper or wood fires Water or CLASS A extinguisher <br /> CLASS B: flammable liquids CLASS B extinguisher <br /> (oils, gasoline, solvents) (CO2 or dry chemical) <br /> CLASS C: electrical equipment CLASS C extinguisher <br /> CLASS D: combustible metals CLASS D extinguisher <br /> (Li, Mg, Ti, Zn, Na, K) <br /> Halon fire extinguishers have a class rating of ABC. They put out fires by interrupting <br /> the chemical reaction which is necessary for a fire to continue burning. Halon fire <br /> extinguishers are preferable when computers and other sensitive equipment are in the <br /> area because these extinguishers do not leave a powdery chemical residue. Fire sites <br /> which have been extinguished using Halon have a potential for re-igniting when the <br /> Halon dissipates. To prevent re-ignition, ensure all power supplies are turned off. <br /> Contingency Plan <br /> ArmorStruxx, LLC 500 South Beckman Road 11.26 <br /> March 2013 Lodi, CA 95240 <br />
