What color is the fire extinguisher designated for flammable liquids?

The fire extinguisher designated for flammable liquids is indeed cream or yellow. This designation is part of a color-coded system that helps in quickly identifying the type of fire extinguisher needed for specific classes of fires. Flammable liquids, which fall under Class B fires, require extinguishers that are specifically designed to handle the combustible nature of these materials.

While other colors may indicate extinguishers for different types of fires—such as red for water extinguishers suitable for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper)—the cream or yellow color clearly signifies that it is intended for flammable liquids. This knowledge is crucial in a kitchen or other environments where flammable liquids are present, ensuring that in an emergency, the right type of extinguisher is used to effectively combat the fire.
