I think there's some figures that quote 80% of fires in the workplace are extinguished with portables.....anyone know if there's a greater breakdown into types of extinguisher used to put those fires out??

Other than the old FETA statistics, no. But they do give a far bigger breakdown, it's a while since I read them but IIRC the most commonly used types used to be water & CO2
