CO2 or Dry Chemical Extinguisher - Class C Fires
A Class C fire extinguisher is used on fires that involve live electrical equipment, which require the use of electrically nonconductive extinguishing agents. Once the electrical equipment is de-energized, extinguishers for Class A or B fires may be used.
A CO2 fire extinguisher is one example of a dry chemical extinguisher. This type of portable fire extinguisher is usually rated for class B and C fires and may be marked for multiple purpose use in A, B, and C fires. They contain an extinguishing agent and use a compressed, non-flammable gas as a propellant.
ABC fire extinguishers are red in color and range in size from five pounds to 20 pounds.
Dry chemical extinguishers have a label indicating they may be used on class A, B, and C fires.
Extinguishers that are suitable for Class C fires are identified by a circle containing the letter "C."
