A Type A fire extinguishers are used for ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, and plastic. A garbage can fire would require a type A fire extinguisher.
B Type B fire extinguishers are used for flammable liquids such as gasoline, grease, paint, and anaesthetic gas.
C Type C fire extinguishers are used for electrical equipment.
D There is no Type D fire extinguisher.
