Fires are classified based on their fuel into Class A, B, and D. Class A fires involve solid organic materials like wood and paper. Class B fires involve flammable liquids. Different types of extinguishers like water, dry chemical powder, foam, and carbon dioxide can be used to extinguish different classes of fire. Foam extinguishers work on both Class A and B fires by creating an air foam blanket that cuts off oxygen and prevents vapors from fuels.

- 4. The extinguishing agent is aqueous film forming concentrate in water which forms air foams when discharged through an aspirating nozzle. It has a blanketing effect excluding oxygen from the surface of the fuel as it spreads on the fuel. Prevents vapour formation from the surface of the burning liquid
