Fire fighting - Using a water extinguisher

[inkkang]

you can just piss on that small fire

I'd rather use a dry chemical or co2.

@chechnya, dry chemical will control the fire, but it will remain hot. CO2 would be a bad choice, this is an "A" class fire and CO2 is not recommended for "A" class fires. Water or foam is the best choice here.

@ALAJOHNSTONE Good point, thanks for the clarification. I've learned a lot since the 2 years from posting that comment.

@chechnya That is OK. I conducted a fire extinguisher training exercise yesterday. Regards.
