Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers

Class F fires are the kind of fire you usually get in kitchens that involve cooking fat and oil. Other types of extinguishers are not only ineffective against this sort of fire, they can also actually make the situation considerably worse.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers are therefore the only recommended fire extinguishers for kitchens and kitchen fires. That makes them ideal for restaurants, hotels, conference centres and other premises containing a commercial kitchen.

They work by covering the burning oil or grease in a layer that both reduces the heat and prevents further oxygen from reaching the source of the fire. Other wet chemical extinguisher uses include some Class A fires involving solid combustibles, although a water extinguisher would be more commonly used for these.
