𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐓 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐔𝐊 𝐋𝐓𝐃 - 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐔𝐒

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬:

·      CO2 displaces oxygen → cutting off the fire’s supply

·      Expands rapidly → lowers temperature

·      Leaves no residue → safe for sensitive equipment

𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫:

·      Electrical fires ⚡ (computers, servers, labs, machinery)

·      Flammable liquids 💧 (Petrol, oil, paint)

⚠️ 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

·      Not effective on outdoor fires (gas disperses quickly)

·      Only short term control

·      Risk of asphyxiation in confined spaces

👉 Remember: Fire needs 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 + 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥 + 𝐎𝐱𝐲𝐠𝐞𝐧

CO2, removes 𝐎𝐱𝐲𝐠𝐞𝐧+ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 → breaking the fire triangle.
