The Foam Fire Extinguisher, commonly using Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), is a versatile and effective solution for combating Class A and B fires—those involving solid combustibles (like wood, paper, fabric) and flammable liquids (like petrol, oils, paints). It works by forming a blanket over the fire surface, cutting off the oxygen supply and cooling the fuel.
Ideal for offices, warehouses, fuel storage areas, garages, and workshops, this extinguisher type provides quick knockdown with minimal re-ignition risk. It is safe for use on live electrical equipment at distances of 1 meter or more, though a CO₂ extinguisher is usually preferred in such cases.
