Which of these types of extinguishers is best suited for use on an electrical fire?

The best type of fire extinguisher to use on an electrical fire is a Class C fire extinguisher. This type of extinguisher is designed for electrical fires specifically, as it uses non-conductive materials to put out the fire. Here are the steps to use it:

1. First, make sure you are safe and the fire is not too large. If it is, evacuate and call the fire department.

2. Stand several feet away from the fire. Fire extinguishers have a range of about 6-20 feet.

3. Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher. Some models may have a different method, so be sure to read the instructions.

4. Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, not the flames. This is to put out the fuel source, not just the flames.

5. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.

6. Sweep the nozzle or hose from side to side until the fire is out. If it does not go out, evacuate and call the fire department.

Remember, safety is the most important thing. If you are ever unsure or the fire is too large, evacuate and call the fire department.
