Types of Fire-Buckets
Fire-buckets can be classified by a few different criteria – mainly based on what they’re filled with, their shape, and how they are stored.
By Filling Material
Water-filled Buckets
Used for general “Class A” fires (combustible materials: wood, paper, cloth).
When thrown, water helps cool down burning material.
Sand-filled Buckets
Very useful when there’s a risk of flammable liquid spills (like oil).
Sand smothers the fire by starving oxygen and also helps contain/absorb the liquid.
Preferred in garages, workshops, chemical areas, places where water may spread the flammable liquid.
