jhoff310 Sorry to her about the fire, hope you are okay? I have been a firefighter for 29 years, the last 13 as Fire Marshal. Spraying flammables is dangerous, far more dangerous than the foam. We have talked about the dangers of foam here on the forum before, it is safer laying flat than being vertical on a wall. Also the foam is generally covered by paint, scenery, plaster etc. The BC extinguisher is filled with baking soda, the same as the Arm & HAmmer box, even a box of it is a good idea to have on hand. The ABC extinguisher is filled with monamonium phosphate, a lot more corrosive than baking soda and harder to clean, The CO2 is carbon dioxide, more expensive and harder to get. For clean up try some vanilla extract in the wash water, it gets the smoke smell out. Also some of the orange based cleaners, Oxyclean, work too. It takes only a spark to set of flammable fumes and I try not to use them as only a last resort. I built my own spray booth and most of the cost was for the explosion proof fan. You should see the code requirements for auto body shops when they paint. John
