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.
