Filled with Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), it forms a thin, water-based film that rapidly cools and smothers fires, preventing re-ignition. This extinguisher is highly effective in extinguishing flammable liquid fires, making it an ideal choice for fuel stations, industrial facilities, warehouses, and commercial kitchens.

How To Use AFFF (Foam) Fire Extinguisher
The type of fire will determine how to use the extinguisher. However, all scenarios will have the same first step as follows:
First step in all scenarios will be to remove the safety pin to break the anti-tamper seal and stand at a safe distance.
For Flammable Liquid Fires:
NEVER spray directly at the fire as this may cause it to spread to other areas
In cases where the liquid is contained, use the extinguisher to point it right at the inside edge of the container
In cases where the liquid is not contained, use a gentle sweeping motion either over the TOP of the fire or if there is an adjacent surface, then use this as the point of spray
Following these steps will allow the foam to drop onto the fire so that it should settle over the burning liquid.
