In Australia, the four most common types of fire extinguishers are:
ABE Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) – Versatile and widely used. Suitable for Classes A, B, and E (combustibles, flammable liquids, electrical fires).
CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) – Ideal for electrical fires and sensitive equipment. Leaves no residue.
Foam (AFFF) – Effective for Class A and B fires (paper, wood, flammable liquids).
Wet Chemical – Specifically designed for Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats.
Some applications may also use Water extinguishers (Class A only).
The most recommended extinguisher for general home use in Australia is the ABE Dry Chemical Powder extinguisher, as it can handle a wide range of fire types, including combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires. A 1kg or 2.5kg model is typically suitable for residential use.
