A Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher is portable, active fire-fighting equipment that extinguishes a fire by removing carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are a usual type of fire extinguisher that is used in situations where water and foam extinguishers or dry chemical fire extinguishers are ineffective. Monoammonium phosphate and sodium or potassium bicarbonate is the most common agents used in dry powder fire extinguishers. When using this sort of extinguisher, time is the key because the powders can be highly corrosive and cause further damage if not cleaned up fast. They are ineffective for extinguishing conventional flammable combustible materials because the solid will burn after being extinguished and may re-ignite if oxygen is restored to its immediate environment.
