Water Mist Fire Extinguishers

Water mist extinguishers are highly versatile firefighting tools. They work by deploying a fine, even layer of de-ionised water mist to the affected area.

The extinguishing agent simultaneously cools and suppresses the fire. Water mist fire extinguishers are the ideal choice for suppressing combustible material fires (Class A), flammable liquid fires (Class B), hot cooking oil fires (Class F) and electrical fires.

How Does a Water Mist Fire Extinguisher Work?

Water mist fire extinguishers work by dispersing a de-ionised mist across an affected area. This cools, suffocates and suppresses Class A, B, F and electrical fires.

Water mist fire extinguishers work by first cooling the affected area with a fine mist. Then the mist extinguishing agent evaporates and turns into steam. This cuts off the fire’s oxygen supply. Due to the gentle, even application of mist, the fire can cool without the risk of an explosion occurring.

The water mist is also de-ionised. This means it has gone through a process that removes all electrically conductive materials. Unlike standard water fire extinguishers, a water mist extinguisher is safe to use on electrical fires. Want to know more about the differences between water and water mist extinguishers?
