Suitable extinguishing media (or agent? ) [/COLOR][/COLOR]: carbon-dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder, water spray,
fire-fighting foam, sand.
Unsuitable extinguishing media (or agent): Do not use direct water jets on the burning product; they
could cause splattering and spread the fire.
Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys
the foam.
By context I meant, fire extinguisher stuff :)
Thank you! Saw that page already but still not convinced... I've seen other pages that were confusing :(
