Today is the last day of Fire Prevention Week, but you should practice fire safety every day! Did you know that fire is classified based on the material is burning

These classifications are used to categorize fire extinguishers. In order to put out a fire, you need to use an extinguisher compatible with the material that is on fire.

Generally, you will find Class A (water) or Class B (dry powder) extinguishers in public, homes, garages, work shops, etc. The Lincoln Fire Company carries fire extinguishers on all of our apparatus to assist in extinguishing small fires.
