The fire triangle is composed of 1) heat 2) fuel 3) oxidizing agent (oxygen)
Types of fire extinguishers: 1) Water and Foam - <span> extinguish the fire by taking away the </span>heat<span> element of the fire triangle. Foam agents separate the </span>oxygen<span> element from the other elements.</span> 2) Carbon dioxide - <span>extinguish fire by taking away the </span>oxygen<span> element of the fire triangle and also be removing the </span>heat<span> with a very cold discharge.</span> 3) Dry Chemical - <span>extinguish the fire primarily by interrupting the </span>chemical reaction<span> of the fire triangle.</span> 4) Wet Chemical - <span>extinguishes the fire by removing the heat of the fire triangle and prevents re-ignition by creating a barrier between the </span>oxygen<span> and </span>fuel<span> elements</span> 5) Clean Agent - <span>extinguish the fire by interrupting the </span>chemical reaction<span> of the fire triangle</span> 6) Dry Powder - extinguish the fire by separating thefuel<span> from the </span>oxygen<span> element or by removing the </span>heat<span> element of the fire triangle</span> 7) Water Mist - <span>extinguish the fire by taking away the </span>heatelement of the fire triangle 8) Cartridge Operated Dry Chemical - extinguish the fire primarily by interrupting the chemical reaction<span> of the fire triangle</span>
