Class A, B, C, D and F fires. The TOTAL of-
fering also includes several unique speciality
portable extinguishers, each of which is de-
signed to satisfy particular fire safety challenges
or market needs. These special-application ex-
tinguishers include powder portables for metal
fires that, typically, can reach temperatures in
excess of 2000 degrees C, and coal and coal
dust fires where even the smallest amount of
kinetic energy can result in an explosion. Other
TOTAL special portables include antimagnetic
CO2 extinguishers for hospitals and clinics,
where magnetic interference could potentially
damage sensitive equipment, and specially-for-
mulated water portables for sawdust and other
dust fires. Special wet chemical portables are
also available for the high-risk Class F cooking
oil and fat fires, as are purpose-designed foam
portables for challenging polar liquid fires.
