cooking oils and fats
Class K extinguishers are used on Class K fires.
I am pretty sure you would use a class K. This is designed for kitchen fires with combustable cooking materials included.
Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum oil and paint. Class B fires also include flammable gases such as propane and butane.Class B fires do not include fires involving cooking oils and grease (these are now Class K fires).
Class K extinguishers are used on Class K fires, i.e., kitchen grease. It may use a special high-temperature foam that causes saponification of the fat and oil, causing it to be extinguished.
A K class extinguisher is rated for use on Kitchen fires- such as a burning pan of grease or a deep fat fryer. Typically loaded with sodium bicarbonate.
Class B extinguishers fight Flammable Liquid fires. The extinguisher classes: Class A: flammable solids Class B: flammable liquids Class C: fires involving electrical equipment. These agents don't conduct electricity. No extinguisher is rated as only for Class C fires; you will find Class B-C and Class A-B-C extinguishers. Class D: flammable metals Class K: kitchen fires
Class A- ordinary combustibles, such as wood or paper- leaves an Ash Class B- liquids- such as oil, gasoline. Liquids Boil Class C- has a live electrical Current Class D- metals, such as magnesium. Metals can Dent Class K- a Kitchen fire, such as burning fat.
1.Class A are fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and many plastics.2.Class B fires are fires in flammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints, solvents, alcohols. Class B fires also include flammable gases such as propane and butane. Class B fires do not include fires involving cooking oils and grease.3.Class C fires are fires involving energized electrical equipment such as computers, servers, motors, transformers, and appliances. Remove the power and the Class C fire becomes one of the other classes of fire.4.Class D fires are fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium, and potassium.5.Class K fires are fires in cooking oils and greases such as animal and vegetable fats.
The 3 main are : A) ordinary combustibles, fight with water B) flammable liquids, Fight with CO2 C) electrical fires, fight with Dry Chemical some also class D) powdered metal, and K) kitchen fires (burning, hot fat)
Class A fires are called "ordinary combustibles". Wood or clothing fires are examples of Class A fires.
4 Classes of Fire.CLASS A(ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES)CLASS B(FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS & GASES)CLASS C(ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS)CLASS D(COMBUSTIBLE METALS)CLASS K(COOKING OILS & FATS)
No, Class A fires are those fires that occur involving paper and wood Class B= flammable liquids and gases
