What is a foam fire extinguisher used for?

Foam fire extinguisher uses:

• Fires involving flammable solids, such as paper, wood, and textiles (‘class A’ fires)
• Fires involving some flammable liquids, such as petrol, diesel, and paint (‘class B’ fires)
• Fires involving electrical appliances IF the extinguisher has passed the 35kv conductivity test

Please note: foam extinguishers are not explicitly designed for use on electrical fires.

The 35kv conductivity test is an additional safety measure intended to safeguard users who accidentally use a foam fire extinguisher on an electrical fire – there is a risk to using a foam fire extinguisher this way, including the possibility of getting an electric shock. We strongly recommend ONLY using a CO2 extinguisher or a Dry Powder extinguisher for electrical fire risk.
