What does the green triangle label indicate?

The green triangle label signifies a Class A fire extinguisher, which is designed for fires involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, textiles, and some plastics. Class A fires are common in residential and commercial settings, and these extinguishers are typically filled with water or foam to cool the burning material and extinguish the fire.

The green triangle is part of a labeling system that helps identify the type of fire extinguisher and its appropriate use in emergency situations. Firefighters and individuals are trained to recognize this labeling to respond effectively during a fire incident, ensuring that the right type of extinguisher is used based on the classification of the fire. Understanding these labels is crucial for effective fire safety and prevention efforts.
