Fire Extinguisher powder

Fire extinguishers are useful for putting out small fires. They aren't perfect, so the decision to use a fire extinguisher must be made and acted on quickly. To be used properly, fire extinguishers must be readily available and users must be familiar with their operation.

Specialized fire extinguishers are used in certain types of fires, class D extinguishers for combustible metals and class K extinguishers designed for use in commercial kitchens.
