DCP stands for dry chemical powder. This is most often found in certain types of fire extinguishers, and they can be used to extinguish the following: * Class A fires which involve "ordinary combustibles" such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and many plastics. * Class B fires which involve flammable liquids, oils, greases, tars, oil-based paints and flammable gases. * Class C fires which involve energized electrical equipment. Certain parts of the world use DCP tenders (or tankers). This is a vehicle with a large tank of dry chemical powder. This practice is rare if not unused in the United States, but is found in nations such as India.
