Water is the most common chemical for class A fires and is quite effective as one would imagine. Water has a great effect on cooling the fuel surfaces and thereby reducing the pyrolysis rate of the fuel. The gaseous effect is minor for extinguishers, but water fog nozzles used by fire brigades creates water droplets small enough to be able to extinguish flaming gases as well. The smaller the droplets, the better the gaseous effect.

Most water based extinguishers also contain traces of other chemicals to prevent the extinguisher rusting. Some also contain wetting agents which help the water penetrate deep into the burning material and cling better to steep surfaces.
