Abstract

Fire is the main cause of accidents, not only in laboratories, but also in homes. Every fire, during its initial stage, can be effectively controlled by using fire extinguishers properly. In fact, fire extinguishers are identified and strategically placed in order to control the fire. But, how do we know which kind of extinguisher is the most appropriate for each situation? Do we know how to use them correctly? Information about the different types of fire extinguishers and how to use them properly helps us to be safe and at the same time it shows us how useful some chemical substances are in our daily life.
