Wet chemical fire extinguishers have been developed to deal with fires resulting from cooking oils and fats. When applied to a burning liquid, the specially formulated wet chemical cools and emulsifies the oil changing it to soap form, extinguishing the flame, sealing the surface and preventing re-ignition. Conventional fire extinguishers are uneffective for cooking oil fires, as they do not cool sufficiently and may cause flash back putting the operator at risk.

Fire ratings provide a means of measuring the effectiveness of a fire extinguisher in terms of the maximum size of fire that can be extinguished. Class F relates to cooking oil and cooking fat fires. There are 4 benchmark tests using 5, 15, 25 and 75 litres of sunflower oil. The oil is heated to auto-ignition and allowed to pre-burn for 2 minutes. Fire is extinguished and no re-ignition shall occur within 10 minutes of extinguishing the fire.
