Foam Extinguishers in London
Foam extinguishers are regarded as multipurpose and can be used on both Class A and Class B fires. They are used where flammable liquids are present as well as for electrical fires. This information can be found on the label. AFFF or Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Extinguishers work by excluding the oxygen from the fire and thereby smothering it. As its name suggests it’s applied as a watery film rather than a thick blanket of traditional foam.
Foam extinguisher application method depends on the fire type. When using foam extinguishers on fires that involve flammable liquids, (Class B) you should not aim the extinguisher directly at the liquid. If the flammable liquid is in a container or at a surface, the extinguisher should be directed at an edge and that should allow it to flow across.
Foam extinguishers can be used on Class A fires just the same way you use a water type extinguisher.
Some nozzles are jet and some are spray and will last between 35 seconds to 1 minute and they have a range of 4 to 5 meters.
