Class B fires are quite special fires. They break out from flammable liquids. Extinguishing Class B fires is not too difficult with specialized equipment to extinguish this type of fire. Below are some methods to extinguish Class B fires.
Some methods of extinguishing class B fires
Using CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) Foam Fire Extinguisher
CAFS foam extinguishers produce a foam that you can use to cover the liquid fire, cut off all oxygen sources and cool the burning surface. This will completely extinguish the Class B fire.
Using CO2 Foam Fire Extinguisher
CO2 is a colorless, odorless gas that can cut off all oxygen sources, reduce the temperature around the fire area and extinguish the fire. However, you need to note that CO2 will not be effective for fires in large spaces.
Using Liquid Foam Fire Extinguisher
Use fire extinguishing foam to completely cover the fire and eliminate the possibility of fire spreading. The foam also helps prevent the fire from spreading.
Using BC (Bromo Chlorodifluoromethane) Foam Fire Extinguisher
BC Foam is a liquid that can be used to extinguish Class B fires. It is an electrically non-conductive extinguishing agent and can cool the fire area.
Use a Fire Blanket
Special fire blankets can be used to cover the fire and completely cut off the oxygen supply. This equipment is especially used to extinguish fires on people or small surfaces.
