A class B or "Bravo" fire is any fire involving the combustion of liquids such as gasoline, diesel, liquid paint, solvents, or oils. These can usually be extinguished using some form of vapor seal over the liquid like aqueous film forming foam (AFFF, essentially REALLY soapy water that floats over any other liquid). Other extinguishing methods are smothering, and dry chemical extinguishing agents like PKP or Sodium Bicarbonate. Water is typically a bad choice of extinguishing agent for this type of fire since you may end up actually spreading it and making the fire worse.
