There are five classes of fire
Class A Fire
Class A. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials, such as cloth, wood, paper, rubber, and many plastics.
Extinguishers with an A rating are designed to extinguish fires involving these ordinary combustible materials.
CLASS C FIRE
Class C. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment.
Extinguishers with a C rating are designed for use with fires involving energized electrical equipment.
CLASS B FIRE
Class B: Flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, oil, gasoline and grease, which are best extinguished by smothering.
The fuel sources of class B fires (gases and liquids) can be quite volatile and cannot be extinguished by water, which will only make the fuel source spread, thus spreading the fire. That is why it is important only to use extinguishing agents and methods designed specifically for Class B fires.
CLASS D FIRE
A Class D fire extinguisher is used on combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, sodium, etc., which require an extinguishing medium that does not react with the burning metal.
A Class D fire is characterized by the presence of burning metals. Only certain metals are flammable and examples of combustible metals include sodium, potassium, uranium, lithium, plutonium and calcium, with the most common Class D fires involve magnesium and titanium
Class K fire
Class K fires are those that are fueled by flammable liquids unique to cooking, such as cooking oils and greases that are vegetable and animal fat-based.
When these substances reach high temperatures, as they naturally do in the kitchen, a sudden and potentially volatile fire can easily ignite. They can rapidly spread due to the flammability of the substance
