2. Fire control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_control

   Fire control is the practice of reducing the heat output of a fire, reducing the area over which the fire exists, or suppressing or extinguishing the fire by depriving it of fuel, oxygen, or heat (see fire triangle). Fire prevention and control is the prevention, detection, and extinguishment of fires, including such secondary activities as ...

3. Gaseous fire suppression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_fire_suppression

   Gaseous fire suppression, also called clean agent fire suppression, is the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire. These agents are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems – NFPA 2001 in the US, with different standards and regulations elsewhere.

4. ABC dry chemical - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_dry_chemical

   Dry chemical powder is used on all classes of fires. Dry chemical powder puts out the fire by coating the burning material with a thin layer of dust, thereby separating the fuel from the oxygen in the air. The powder also works to interrupt the chemical reaction of fire, so these extinguishers are extremely effective at putting out the fire.

5. Here’s Where You Should Store Your Fire Extinguisher ... - AOL

   The more levels a home has, the harder it can be to escape a fire, which is why you should have at least one fire extinguisher on every level of the home. Even if a fire extinguisher can’t fully ...

6. Fire extinguisher - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_extinguisher

   There are several class D fire extinguisher agents available; some will handle multiple types of metals, others will not. Sodium chloride (Super-D, Met-L-X, M28, Pyrene Pyromet [a]) contains sodium chloride salt, which melts to form an oxygen-excluding crust over the metal. A thermoplastic additive such as nylon is added to allow the salt to ...

7. Purple-K - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple-K

   Purple-K, also known as PKP, is a dry-chemical fire suppression agent used in some dry chemical fire extinguishers. [1] It is the second most effective dry chemical in fighting class B (flammable liquid) fires after Monnex (potassium allophanate), and can be used against some energized electrical equipment fires (USA class C fires). [2]

8. Oxidizing and reducing flames - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_and_reducing_flames

   Reducing, neutral and oxidizing oxyacetylene flames. A flame is affected by the fuel introduced and the oxygen available. A flame with a balanced oxygen-fuel ratio is called a neutral flame. The color of a neutral flame is semi-transparent purple or blue. [1] This flame is optimal for many uses because it does not oxidize or deposit soot onto ...

9. Pentafluoroethane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentafluoroethane

   The agent is odorless, colorless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and leaves no residue. It is used in occupied enclosed areas that contain high-value assets. HFC-125 suppresses fire by absorbing heat energy at its molecular level faster than the heat can be generated, so the fire cannot sustain itself.
