Foam fire extinguishers
Best distinguished by its cream-coloured band, a foam fire extinguisher, also known as an AFFF foam fire extinguisher, is an important part of fire safety and protection. These extinguishers are used for fighting fires that have been caused by organic materials, such as cardboard and wood, as well as flammable liquids such as petrol and paint.
When the foam is ejected from an AFFF foam fire extinguisher, it covers and suffocates the fire like a blanket and quickly puts it out and prevents it from reigniting. However, before choosing your fire extinguisher, it’s important to understand your environment and the risks involved to ensure that you have the most effective type of fire extinguisher for your property.
