Frequently Asked Questions

How do water fire extinguishers work?

Pressure water fire extinguishers generally function by either cooling the fuel, smothering the flames, or interrupting the chemical chain reaction of combustion. Water fire extinguishers are classified as Class A fire extinguishers, which means they are specifically designed to extinguish fires involving regular combustibles, such as paper, wood, and textiles.

What colour is a water extinguisher?

Water fire extinguishers are classified as Class A fire extinguishers and are colour-coded in red. This signifies that they are specifically designed to extinguish fires involving regular combustibles, e.g., paper, wood, and textiles.

What are water fire extinguishers used for?

Pressure water fire extinguishers act as a vital first line of defence for businesses and facilities, helping to contain small blazes involving combustible materials such as paper, textiles, and wood. 

Can water extinguishers be used on electrical fires?

No, standard pressure water fire extinguishers must not be used on electrical fires. Water is a conductor of electricity, and using it on a fire involving electrical equipment poses a severe risk of electrocution to the operator. 

Spraying water can also cause the electrical current to flash or spread, potentially escalating the blaze. For emergencies involving electrical equipment, a Class C fire extinguisher, a specialised CO2 extinguisher, or a lithium-ion battery fire extinguisher should be used instead.
