While ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguishers are used on solid, liquid, gas and electrical fires, foam and bioversal fire extinguishers cannot be used on electrical fires. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are used in server rooms, electrical panels, rooms and closed areas where computers and electronic equipment are located.
