 Q: What do the extinguisher classifications mean?
A: Fires are classified according to the type of fuel that is burning. If you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on a fire, you can, in fact, worsen the situation. It is therefore very important to understand the four different fire classifications.

  Class A

 
Class A fires involve common combustibles such as wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal and car tyres. They are common in commercial and home settings
 

  Class B

 
Fires caused by combustion of liquids or materials that liquify, e.g. petrol, benzene, oils, fats, paints, tar, ether, alcohol, stearin and paraffin.

  Class C

 
Fires caused by combustion of gases e.g. methane, propane, hydrogen, acetylene, natural gas and city gas

  Class D

 
Class D fires involve combustible metals such as magnesium, aluminium, lithium, sodium, potassium and their alloys. Combustible metal fires are unique industrial hazards which require special fire extinguishers

  Class F

 
Class F fires involve combustible cooking media such as oils and grease commonly found in commercial kitchens. The new cooking media formulations used form commercial food preparation require a special wet chemical extinguishing agent that is specially suited for extinguishing and suppressing these extremely hot fires that have the ability to re-flash. Never use other pressurised extinguisher types, as water, foam, powder or CO2 on burning cooking oil, as the pressure jet might carry the burning oil and spread the fire!

 Q: How do I interconnect different detectors that are 'interconnectable'?
