TYPES OF FIRE

Type 1

 Fires occurring due burning of ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth and paper.  Pouring water is the most effective way for extinguishing this kind of fire.

Type 2 

Fires occurring due burning of flammable liquids such as oils, petrol, grease and fat. For extinguishing this kind of fire water must never be used, as it excludes oxygen.

Type 3 

Fires in this category involve live electrical equipment. The extinguishing agent must be non-conducting of electricity and water must never be used for extinguishing this kind of fire.
