What we are going to go over and talk about are the common qualities of the multi purpose
or dry chemical fire extinguishers. Dry chemical fire extinguisher is a fire extinguisher that
will handle all three classes of fire. Class A normal everyday combustible like wood, paper
and cloth. Class B flammable liquids and combustible liquids and class C, energized electrical
equipment. This is the type of fire extinguisher that is commonly found in most places of business
and everyone's home. This extinguisher has a gage that it shows you when it is charged
and ready to go. It is a one time use fire extinguisher. After it is used it must be
recharged to be put back in to operation. This extinguisher however, has a disadvantaged,
it causes a significant amount of dry powder or chemical to be spread throughout the room
of origin in the fire. But it is the most versatile fire extinguisher available to us
as American citizens.
