There are actually 4 types of fires, Alpha, Beta, Charlie, and Delta. Alpha also known as class A fires include normal combustables such as wood and paper. Bravo fires or class B fires are fuel or gas fires in which a accelerant is involved such as oil, gasoline, or propane, Charlie or class C fires are electrical fires and only stay class C fires as long as power is supplied to the fire site, once power is removed these become class A fires. Delta fires or class D fires are special materials fires usually combustable metals such as magnesium or certain titanium alloys. The extinguisher you have is probably a dry chemical extinguisher and because of this it will not smother the hot embers from a wood or paper fire and only put out the flames, if embers become hot enough they can and have in the past restarted fires, this is why an all purpose extinguisher is probably a good idea, see if you can aquire a PKP extinguisher (Potassium Bicarbonate) these are good for all three main fire types common with kitchen fires and although when discharged they can damage electronic devices (corrosive to metals) it is much better then yoru house burning down.
save all your lives, which you need for that level.
This Site Might Help You. RE: Can I use a BC fire extinguisher for all fires? I bought a fire extinguisher to keep in my kitchen. It does say kitchen on the package. Now I read that for wood/paper, etc. fires, you need an ABC. Won't this one also work on those? Why not? I would like one that works on all fires. Do I need to take it back?
I would only have the ABC rated extinguisher because that puts out all common household fires. The BC works fine in the kitchen where you might have a stove or grease fire. You really need the A rating for regular wood and paper fires. The kitchen is the place where most fires start. I would have one there and one near the bedrooms and garage.
In his usual humble way, Einstein explained how he reinvented physics: I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of Relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child. But my intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up. On Relativity, he said: Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
