Understanding How Fire Extinguishers Work

The video explains how fire extinguishers work by disrupting the fire triangle: heat, fuel, and oxygen. It covers three common types of extinguishers: water, which removes heat; gas, primarily carbon dioxide, which removes heat and oxygen; and dry chemical, which removes fuel. Each type is designed to tackle fires by targeting one of the essential elements needed for combustion.

Describe how dry chemical extinguishers eliminate the fuel supply of a fire.

What are some other types of fire extinguishers designed for specific fires?
