Depending on the scene it is taught that a combination Class ABC extinguisher be used or a Class B. Also as stated depending on scene a water extinguisher may work as well but the best is still the combination ABC. How to determine which class for which is use a simple and remember-able breakdown.

Class A = anything that gives off/or turn to ASH when in burns keyword ASH begins with A (Class A)

Class B = anything that BOILS when under flame impingement or burned keyword BOILS begins with B (Class B)

Class C = Anything that may be electrically based or carries CURRENT of electricity keyword CURRENT begins with a C (Class C)

and for Kitchen they have a Class K with is a non caustic / corrosive for safe use around or where food maybe be stored, kept, or prepared.

The combination ABC can be used whether it ash's, boil's, or has current/electricity.

Hope this helps and may you never need to use this information but if you do trust that it is accurate.

What puts out a fire faster water or a fire extinguisher?

Trick question, if the fire extinguisher is full of water, such as a Class 2A. However, a fire extinguisher is designed to put out a small fire quicker than anyone can respond with a hose and a water supply. Unfortunately, many fires react violently when water is applied to them, so a different type of fire extinguisher must be used.
