Did you know there is more than one kind of fire extinguisher?
​
Class A Fire Extinguisher
These put out fires of normal combustible materials such as firewood, plastic, cloth, and paper. Class A extinguishers will serve you best if you keep them near a fireplace.
​
Class B Fire Extinguisher
For when the fire's fuel source is a combustible gas or liquid such as gasoline, ethanol, or propane. Keep this type of fire extinguisher in places like your garage, workshop, or shed.
​
Class C Fire Extinguisher
These are for electrical fires. Be aware that water cannot put out an electrical fire, and doing so may lead to electrocution.
​
Class D Fire Extinguisher
These are ideal for flammable metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and potassium (NFPA).
When looking for which home fire extinguisher to buy, consider buying an all-purpose or multi-rated extinguisher, labeled "ABC". Fire extinguishers should also be kept in the kitchen and garage. It is important that you also know when the fire cannot be contained. Fire extinguishers are only one part of a fire response plan, but the most important thing is to escape safely!

Chief Tim Pettet: On behalf of our members and myself, thank you for visiting this website and for your interest in the Woodstock Fire District. Since our inception in 1906, we have worked to provide the highest level of protection and service to the public that we serve.
The District is located 120 miles north of New York City and 25 miles west of the city of Kingston. Primarily still a rural and residential area, the District does contain some light manufacturing businesses and our village is known for being a tourist attraction for the arts and for a music festival that wasn't actually held in Woodstock. From operating with a hose cart and a hand pumper 100 plus years ago, today we operate out of five stations with 22 pieces of equipment which provide fire protection and paramedic EMS services to 6300 residents and 69 square miles of response area in the Township of Woodstock. In 1930 the District responded to 20 incidents. Today our 170 members respond to almost 1000 incidents annually.
Many things have changed since 1906, but our dedication to helping our neighbors and the protection of life and property has remained constant. We appreciate your support.
