A Fire Extinguisher can keep crisis from turning into calamity. If you know where it is. If you know how to use it. If it’s the right extinguisher for the fire and if it works.

If your machine shop, lab or factory works with metals like magnesium, sodium, titanium or potassium alloys, you need Class D fire suppression on hand.

Combustible metals and metal alloys including magnesium, zirconium and sodium-potassium alloys are often present in machine shops and factory processes. They can ignite and when they do, the resulting Class D Fire is extremely hot and water only make them burn hotter. Class D Fire Extinguishers use a dry-powder fire suppression agent to smother Class D fires.
