Carbon dioxide portable fire extinguishers remove the heat from fires by emitting a very cold discharge and removing oxygen from the flames, and are effective only on Class B and C fires.  Carbon dioxide extinguishers are not effective on Class A fires, and must adhere to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 12 which outlines the criteria for carbon monoxide fire extinguishers.
