What Type of Fire Extinguisher Should Be Used for a Car Fire?
1 Answers
For car fires, use a dry powder fire extinguisher or a water-based fire extinguisher. The main component of a water-based fire extinguisher is RO purified water, which features no dust, suffocation prevention, effective fire suppression, and non-toxic environmental protection. It can spray fire suppressant to evaporate heat from the fire scene, rapidly lower the temperature, and inhibit thermal radiation. Surfactants quickly form a water film on the surface of combustibles, isolating oxygen and providing both cooling and isolation effects, while also participating in fire suppression. This achieves the goal of rapid fire extinguishing without re-ignition. Precautions for using water-based fire extinguishers: 1. Water-based foam fire extinguishers are not suitable for electrical fires. When dealing with electrical fires, the power must first be cut off, and live operation is strictly prohibited to avoid electric shock. 2. When performing maintenance and refilling of the fire extinguisher, it must be done according to its requirements and recommendations.
