What label is used for Class D fire extinguishers?

Class D fire extinguishers are specifically designed to combat fires involving combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, and sodium. The labeling for these extinguishers is a yellow star symbol. This distinctive label helps firefighters and emergency responders quickly identify the type of fire extinguisher that can be used for certain materials, ensuring the correct suppression agents are employed effectively.

The yellow star signifies the unique requirements needed to safely address Class D fires, which differ significantly from other fire classes due to the dangers posed by burning metals. Other labels indicate different classes of fire extinguishers, used for fires involving ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment, which have their own specific color coding and symbols to promote safety and efficiency in firefighting operations.
