Class A fire: flammable solids--wood, paper, cloth, things like that.
Class B fire: flammable liquids
Class C fire: electrical fire. A Class C fire is one where electric sparks ignite something else like wood or gasoline, but it's classified differently because it must be extinguished with a nonconductive agent to prevent the firefighters from being electrocuted.
Class D fire: flammable metals
Class K fire: kitchen fires. These are technically Class B fires--grease is a flammable liquid--but they are very hard to put out, so special extinguishing systems are used.

Class A fires are called "ordinary combustibles". Wood or clothing fires are examples of Class A fires.
No, Class A fires are those fires that occur involving paper and wood Class B= flammable liquids and gases
Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as sodium,magnesium, aluminum and potassium.
Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum oil and paint. Class B fires also include flammable gases such as propane and butane.Class B fires do not include fires involving cooking oils and grease (these are now Class K fires).
1.Class A are fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and many plastics.2.Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints, solvents, alcohols. Class B fires also include flammable gases such as propane and butane. Class B fires do not include fires involving cooking oils and grease.3.Class C fires are fires involving energized electrical equipment such as computers, servers, motors, transformers, and appliances. Remove the power and the Class C fire becomes one of the other classes of fire.4.Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and potassium.5.Class K fires are fires in cooking oils and greases such as animal and vegetable fats.
Liquid (oil) fires.
Class B extinguishers fight Flammable Liquid fires. The extinguisher classes: Class A: flammable solids Class B: flammable liquids Class C: fires involving electrical equipment. These agents don't conduct electricity. No extinguisher is rated as only for Class C fires; you will find Class B-C and Class A-B-C extinguishers. Class D: flammable metals Class K: kitchen fires
Class A- ordinary combustibles, such as wood or paper- leaves an Ash Class B- liquids- such as oil, gasoline. Liquids Boil Class C- has a live electrical Current Class D- metals, such as magnesium. Metals can Dent Class K- a Kitchen fire, such as burning fat.
