Best Answer

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.
