Its any fire which involves a liquid substance that can cat light i.e petrol fires are liquid fires, as is over heated cooking oil. This would be fires where the use of water to fight them would prove more damgerous as the pressure of the injected water could and does splash the ignited fired liquid over other distances and this causes more fires to fight.It these styles of fire co2 gas and or foam is normally used - in a kitching cooking oil fire a fire blanket can be used to starve the fire of oxygen.
