Metal fire.
E.g. burning Magnesia, Lithium, Sodium, Copper, Aluminium;
Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as sodium,magnesium, aluminum and potassium.
A class D fire extinguisher is used for fighting class D fires. Class D fires are metal fires involving magnesium, potassium, sodium and sodium-potassium alloys. The class D extinguishers are mostly used in the aircraft industry, auto body shops and factories working with metal.

False class D which i think is dry powder can only be used on electrical fires.
No, hence them being Class D fire extinguishers they are only used on combustible metal fires. there are different class d extinguishers as well for specific metal fires no one class d extinguisher on all metal fires mostly very specific
Class D, for metal 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.
A Class D fire extinguisher is suitable for extinguishing fires involving magnesium.
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)
Those are class D fires. They can be very hard to extinguish, and require that they be buried or a special extinguishing agent be used. Those fires are not affected by water.
When magnesium burns, it would be classified as a Class D fire, which involves combustible metals. Magnesium fires can be very intense and require a specialized extinguishing agent, such as a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires.
