Powder Fire Extinguishers are the most versatile classification of extinguisher. With the ability to tackle fires in classes A, B, C, D and electrical fires, Firechief Powder Extinguishers are a must for any office, school or workplace thanks to their multi-disciplinary nature.

• Fires involving carbon based materials (as are water and foam extinguishers)
