Class C.
water
Water should never be used to fight an electrical fire. It could potentially cause an explosion or cause you to become electrocuted.
Class e is an electrical fire. Water is not usedbecausewater and electricity do not mix.
Any class "A" fire. A class "A" fire is anything that when burned leaves an Ash.
NO, use salt! Unless its a grease fire only use water as a last resort (ie you have no salt and cant blow it out) NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No but you can use sand. If you have some lying around.
It depends on the type of fire and the fuel it is using to burn.. Fires are separated into classes.. Class A: Wood, paper, or anything that turns to ash is considered Class A and you should use water. Class B: Gasoline or other combustible chemical is considered Class B and you should smother it to deplete the oxygen supply or use a Class B fire extinguisher. Class C: Electrical fires are considered Class C and you should use a non-conductive extinguishing agent, such as Carbon Dioxide or use a Class C fire extinguisher and cut the off the circuit. Class D: Combustible metals such as Magnesium or Titanium are considered Class D and you should use a dry powder extinguishing agent or a Class D fire extinguisher. Class K: Grease fires are considered Class K fires and you should use Carbon Dioxide or a fire extinguisher labeled C or D will extinguish this type of fire..
Baking Soda & Class-C or ABC Fire ExtinguisherIf a fire extinguisher is not available and the fire is small, dousing it with enough baking soda can put it out. If you have one, use a class-C or multi-purpose ABC fire extinguisher to put out the flames. You can not use any other kind of fire extinguisher on an electrical fire (the extinguisher should be clearly marked, but if it's not and you're not sure what kind it is, don't use it)NEVER-EVER-EVER-use water on an electrical fire as it could cause electrocution-use a class-A fire extinguisher on an electrical fire.
It is the Class C fires that invlove electrically energized equipments, and they are suppressed using CO2 extinguishers or dry chemical extinguishers. Certainly the use of water or water-based extinguishers or other water-based suppression equipment is not to be considered.
why a fire should never be approached unless it is safe to do so
Class B: Liquid fuel fireExtinguish with:Dry chemical fire extinguisher rated for class b firesCO2 fire extinguisher if properly operatedFoam by a qualified fire fighterBy specially trained Firefighters ONLY the is a way to put these out with water only, the training was so cool! What a rush.
You should never ignore it.
