You want a fire extinguisher rated for Class C fires. Class C is for electrical fires. Don't use water on electical fire. Most of the fire extinguishers mounted on the wall are rated for Class A, B, and C.
Class A is for 3D fires like houses, boxes, and structures.
Class B is for 2D fires like oils and liquids.
There are other sub classes (Charlie will know about these) but we don't need to go there.
