Cost: 20 KS

History

Fire extinguishers have been in use since long before the first humans arrived in the Kagami Galaxy. While simple, they have saved countless lives and prevented untold amounts of damage.

Description

Fire extinguishers are designed to extinguish small fires before they become larger and more difficult to control. They consist of a cylinder that contains an extinguishing agent, such as water, foam, or dry chemical. The cylinder is equipped with a nozzle and a handle that allows the user to direct the extinguishing agent at the fire.

Fire extinguishers are classified according to the type of fire they are designed to extinguish. The most common types are:

  • Class A: Designed to extinguish fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, and cloth.
  • Class B: Designed to extinguish fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and grease.
  • Class C: Designed to extinguish fires in electrical equipment.
  • Class D: Designed to extinguish fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, aluminum, and sodium.
  • Class K: Designed to extinguish fires in cooking oils and fats.

Common fire extinguishers in SARPiverse are class ABC.

Usage

It is important to remember that fire extinguishers are not a substitute for proper fire safety procedures. If a fire is too large or out of control, evacuate the area and call the fire department. Always read the instructions on the fire extinguisher before use and follow any safety precautions listed.

Using a fire extinguisher is a simple process, but it is important to be prepared and to use the correct type of extinguisher for the fire.

  1. Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher to release the locking mechanism.
  2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
  3. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
  4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth to cover the entire area of the fire.
