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.
For kitchen use you want a Class K - cooking oils and fats - extinguisher.
Carbon dioxide is a liquid in a fire extinguisher because it is kept under high pressure inside the extinguisher. This high pressure compresses the gas molecules together, causing them to condense into a liquid form at room temperature. When the fire extinguisher is activated, the liquid carbon dioxide is released as a gas, which helps smother the fire by displacing oxygen around it.
Often turning off the power will cause an electrical fire to go out, so unplug the device or flip the circuit breaker. You can also use carbon dioxide fire extinguishers on electrical fires. In computer server rooms, there are sometimes HALON fire extinguishers built in. Halon isn't poisonous, but it displaces all of the oxygen from the room, so you want to GET OUT of a room where a halon fire extinguisher is used.
To extinguish a plastic material fire, use a Class A, B, or C fire extinguisher as appropriate. For small fires, you can also smother the flames by covering them with a fire blanket or using water to cool the material. Avoid using water on electrical or grease fires involving plastic materials.
