In Singapore, the Class ABC Fire Extinguisher is also known as an AB Fire Extinguisher. This is because Class C Fires are typically easily extinguished by simply killing the power, which includes either turning off the switch or circuit breaker. If the Fire persists because the surroundings (Socket etc.) caught on fire, it would then be classified as either a Class A or B Fire.

Why are dry powder extinguishers AB instead of ABC?

With effect 2013, all manufacturers in Singapore cannot affix the C Class labels unless it has been tested to C Class fires.  Since there are no facilities to test C Class fires in Singapore, manufacturers will thus display only AB class labels for new extinguisher

How to use Portable Fire Extinguisher?

SCDF have an easy, simple instructional video on how to use an portable fire extinguisher.

How it works: 

The dry powder extinguishes the fire due to a chemical reaction with the flame. When it is applied to hot and smoldering surfaces, the particles swell to form a barrier to snuff out oxygen from the source fire, thus preventing re-ignition. The Dry Powder is also a poor conductor of electricity which provides the operator with a heat shield along with a fast knock out effect.
