Many extinguishers available today can be used
on different types of fires and will be labeled
with more than one designator, e.g. A-B, B-C, or
A-B-C. Make sure that if you have a
multi-purpose extinguisher it is properly
labeled. |
| This is the old style of labeling indicating
suitability for use on Class A, B, and C fires. |

This is the new style of labeling that shows
this extinguisher may be used on Ordinary
Combustibles, Flammable Liquids, or Electrical
Equipment fires. This is the new labeling style
with a diagonal red line drawn through the
picture to indicate what type of fire this
extinguisher is NOT suitable
for. In this example, the fire extinguisher
could be used on Ordinary Combustibles and
Flammable Liquids fires, but not for Electrical
Equipment fires. |
