Corrosive Bases
4 Classes of Fire.CLASS A(ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES)CLASS B(FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS & GASES)CLASS C(ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS)CLASS D(COMBUSTIBLE METALS)CLASS K(COOKING OILS & FATS)
An incombustible gas is one that does not burn or explode.(Incombustible means something that cannot be burnt.)Some good examples of incombustible gases arenitrogen (which is fortunate, because 78% of the air is nitrogen, and if nitrogen was combustible, the air would explode!)carbon dioxideargon
It is harder to start a combustible liquid buring than to start a flammable liquid burning. In most cases, however, neither type of liquid is "unstable." Both are simply liquids that can burn if ignited. Being "unstable" means that it might detonate or explode.
Many different powders or liquids when suspended in air (an aerosol) in the right concentration can be explosive or combustible Generally the powders or liquids contain carbon-based molecules, for example, custard powder or petroleum. Look up exploding custard powder on the web or Youtube.
Corrosive Bases
Flammable catches on fire. Combustible explodes. Boooyah!

1. Class A - Ordinary combustibles e.g wood, paper etc 2. Class b - flammable and combustible liquids 3. class c - electrical equipment
B-1 is for a Class B fire, that is, flammable/combustible liquids and gases.
yes.
Combustable liquids burn, all of them. Non combustable liquids, not so much.
A type b extinguisher puts out a class B fire, i.e., flammable/combustible liquids and gases.

A type B or Class B fire is one involving flammable or combustible liquids and gases such as gasoline, oil, petroleum grease, tar, alcohols and flammable gases.However, Class K fires are those found in cooking appliances involving combustible oils and fats, one difference being that they would not be combustible unless heated well above 100 degrees F.
