There are many chemicals out there besides purple K that are used and some are better than others. It really depends on the application they are used in

I know that a 30# extinguisher filled with Purple K will do a quick job on a 15' x15' fire training pit after letting the diesel fuel get going real good...... if it is done correctly. Been there...done that.

The Friday afternoon fire training sessions were a good break from the normal "office" work at the refinery.
