Class D fires are highly combustible metals. Examples include magnesium, titanium, potassium, and aluminium powder. Go back to fire extinguishers
A Class D fire extinguisher is used for metal fires. It works on metals like magnesium, titanium, and sodium. Water and regular extinguishers won’t work on these fires. Instead, Class D extinguishers use dry powder to smother the flames. They are mostly found in labs and factories where metal is handled.
For metal fires, you need a specialist dry powder extinguisher. Water won’t work, it can make the fire worse by spreading molten metal.
Dry powder extinguishers contain substances like graphite and sodium chloride. These powders smother the fire and block oxygen, stopping the flames from spreading.
