Wet chemical fire extinguishers employ a pressurised solution of alkali salts in water and are used for Class F fires. Its principal application is in kitchens and food processing plants. In kitchens a fire blanket is a reliable alternative when dealing with chip fat fires. Wet Chemical extinguishers can also be used on Class A fires involving solids

Using a wet chemical fire extinguisher:

1. Turn off the source of heat if safe to do so.
2. Pull out the retaining pin (this will break the plastic "pull tight" security seal) and squeeze the grip to discharge the extinguisher. 
3. Hold the lance at arm's length, well above the fire with its nozzle at least 1 Metre away from the fire.
4. Holding the lance still, discharge so that the spraying wet chemical falls gently onto the surface of the fire.
5. Even if the fire appears to go out quickly, it is advisable to discharge the entire contents of the extinguisher.
