Any fire involving live electrical components, such as an electric motor, transformer, or switchgear. Here is a way to remember-
A- burning solids- leaves ASH
B- Liquids- the BOIL
C- Electrical CURRENT
D- flammable metals- they DENT
A class C fire involves energized electrical equipment. It should not be extinguished using water, as it can conduct electricity and cause electrocution. To extinguish a class C fire, it is recommended to use a dry chemical or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher designed for use on electrical fires.
because the temperature of fire of class C is so high that if water is used to extinguish such fire, the water before reaching the fire surface gets evaporated and thus is useless. that's y sand is used.,
Class A fire: flammable solids--wood, paper, cloth, things like that. Class B fire: flammable liquids Class C fire: electrical fire. A Class C fire is one where electric sparks ignite something else like wood or gasoline, but it's classified differently because it must be extinguished with a nonconductive agent to prevent the firefighters from being electrocuted. Class D fire: flammable metals Class K fire: kitchen fires. These are technically Class B fires--grease is a flammable liquid--but they are very hard to put out, so special extinguishing systems are used.
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)
The squibs used in C-130 fire bottles are classified as explosive Class 1.4S. This classification is commonly used for pyrotechnic devices that are designed to ignite or cause an exothermic reaction.
A class C fire is an electrical fire. A class C extinguisher is approved for electrical fires.
An electrical fire is a class "C" fire. A Class "C" fire is actually a class "A" or "B" fire that is caused by electrical current.
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.

A class C fire extinguisher is used for electrical fires. A all purpose A, B, C extinguisher can also be used.
A vacuum is nothing. A nothing can't burn, so there is no need to put it out. If you are talking about a vacuum cleaner (electrical appliance) on fire, that is an energized electrical fire, which is a Class C fire. You will need a UL class C rated fire extinguisher for this emergency (i.e., ABC, B:C, or C). If you can unplug the vacuum safely, then do so. This converts the fire from Class C to "ordinary combustibles", UL Class A.
As per Americal standard CLASS C is for electrical fire but in british standard it is not there because technically Electrical fire is not applicable since it will turns to CLASS A fire once it happened. so Dry Powder extinguisher is enough to extinguish the same.
