Class b
class B
The class of fire that consists of flammable liquids, such as stove alcohol, gasoline, and diesel, is classified as Class B fires. These fires involve liquids or gases that can ignite and spread rapidly. Extinguishing agents for Class B fires typically include foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide extinguishers, which help smother the flames and prevent re-ignition.
Flammable liquids fall under Class 3 in the United Nations classification system for hazardous materials. These liquids can ignite easily at relatively low temperatures and pose a fire hazard. Proper storage and handling of flammable liquids are essential to prevent accidents.
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
It's NOT class A - which is flammable solids. Electrical fires are class C (burning liquids are class B, burning metals are class D)
An electrical fire is a class 'C' fire. In addition, Class 'A' is combustibles that leave an ash. (Paper, etc.) Class 'B' is flammable liquids. Class 'C' is electrical. Class 'D' is a metal fire.
B-1 is for a Class B fire, that is, flammable/combustible liquids and gases.
flammable liquids
Class A extinguishers are designed for "ordinary flammable materials" (organic solids such as paper and wood) but not liquids like gasoline, grease, electrical fires, or flammable metals.
A type b extinguisher puts out a class B fire, i.e., flammable/combustible liquids and gases.
Obviously not. Many liquids are flammable.
