What fire extinguisher do you use for a vacuum on fire?

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.
