Understanding the Different Classes of Fires and How to Extinguish Them

Different types of fires require different extinguishing methods. Here’s a guide to understanding fire classes:



1. Class A: Ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth. Use water or foam extinguishers.


2. Class B: Flammable liquids like gasoline and oil. Use foam or dry chemical extinguishers.


3. Class C: Electrical fires. Use non-conductive extinguishers like CO2 or dry chemical.


4. Class D: Metal fires. Use specialized extinguishing agents like dry powder.


5. Class K: Cooking oils and fats. Use wet chemical extinguishers.
