Water based fire extinguishers can be used for furniture fires.
Water based fire extinguishers are suitable for putting out fires caused by solids or water-insoluble liquids. They can instantly take away heat, reduce the temperature of the fire site, and inhibit thermal radiation when a fire breaks out. Therefore, water based fire extinguishers can be used when furniture is on fire.
The person who can first raise this question must have a deep fire awareness. With the improvement of living standards, there are more and more people living in residential buildings. It is not uncommon for residential buildings to catch fire, especially when high-rise buildings are on fire, it is very troublesome for firefighters to extinguish the fire. Fire extinguishers should be kept at home.
What are the advantages of water-based fire extinguishers?
Water based fire extinguishers have the advantages of high fire extinguishing efficiency, convenient operation, long validity period, and affordable price. However, when storing water based fire extinguishers, we should remember to place them in a dry and ventilated environment, and avoid collisions, exposure, and other situations.
The fire extinguisher also needs to be checked regularly. There is a pointer gauge on the fire extinguisher. If the pointer points to a red place, it means that the liquid in the fire extinguisher has deteriorated and cannot be used. If the pointer points to a yellow place, it means that the pressure in the bottle is insufficient and needs to be replenished.
In addition, since the water-based fire extinguisher sprays liquid, the liquid on the furniture should be handled in time after the fire is extinguished. Because many of our furniture are wooden, if the liquid on the surface is not wiped off in time, it may cause corrosion to the furniture.
