Fire Extinguisher Types | Wet Chemical Extinguisher | iHASCO

Wet Chemical Extinguishers have a yellow panel and they’re the ONLY extinguisher which can be used on Class F fires, so you’ll normally find them in large kitchens or anywhere deep fat fryers are used. They produce a barrier between the oxygen and the fuel, and the water content in the extinguishing agent reduces the heat.
To use the extinguisher, you need to pull off the safety tag to break the seal.
Then pull out the pin and test that the extinguisher works by pointing it AWAY from the fire. Make sure you squeeze the handle until the extinguishing agent comes out.
Then you need to aim the lance directly at the fire and sweep the extinguishing agent across the fire using slow circular movements until the flames are extinguished.
Make sure the fat has cooled before you attempt to take further action.
