ABC 1kg dry chemical powder fire extinguisher

How dry powder fire extinguishers work:
Dry powder fire extinguishers smother fires by forming a barrier between the fuel and the source of oxygen.
As they do not cool the fire, there is a small risk of re-ignition.

Pros and Cons of dry powder fire extinguishers:
Pros: work on most types of fire; they suppress fires very quickly; specialist dry powder extinguishers are the only extinguishers that work on flammable metals.
Cons: slight danger of the fire re-igniting; when discharged, the powder can spread over a large area leaving a residue; can obscure vision when discharged and can be inhaled if used in enclosed areas.
