Description
A water-type fire extinguisher is a simple, cost-effective, and efficient firefighting tool designed for extinguishing Class A fires (solid combustibles such as wood, paper, and textiles). It is sometimes employed in emergencies involving such substances when chemical additives are included. Water extinguishers work by cooling the burning material, reducing the temperature below ignition levels, and halting the combustion process.
