This article refers to my difficulties with the current thinking around fire extinguishers. Perhaps it’s just me, but even after 35 years’ service in the Fire and Rescue Service, I still find the whole issue of fire extinguishers and fire classification really confusing. More recently I have had a little more time on my hands and have reflected on why are fire extinguishers such a complicated and bureaucratic mess? I am a great believer in the role of history in creating complicated systems, and usually the Romans are at least one of the culprits- at least in urban legend.
