Class ‘A’ fires Class ‘A’ fires include any material that consists of a cellu- lose base. Firefighters also refer to these materials as ‘Ordinary Combustibles’. This includes material or items that are made of wood, cloth, paper, rubber, grass, and some plastics. Water is typi- cally used to cool these burning materials to the point that they will no longer sustain combustion. Class ‘B’ fires Class ‘B’ fires involve flamma- ble or combustible liquids such as gasoline, oil, lacquer, paint, and alcohol. The most effective means of extinguishing this class of fire is to smoother or blanket the fire, eliminating the oxygen supply needed to sustain combustion. The application of water to this class of fire will have an adverse reaction causing the burning material to spread and react vio- lently. Class ‘C’ fires Class ‘C’ fires involve ener- gized electrical equipment includ- ing household appliances, outlets, computers, transformers, and any power lines. Always assume that burning elec- trical components are still ener- gized. The most effective means of extinguish- ment is to first de-ener- gize any effected circuits at the electrical service box, then use an extinguishing agent that is non- conducting such as a dry chemi- cal, or carbon dioxide fire extin- guisher. Like Class ‘B’ fires, never use water on an energized electrical fire. Class ‘D’ fires Class ‘D’ fires involve com- bustible metals that I think of as the “iums”. These include alu- minum, magnesium, titanium, zir- conium, sodium, and potassium. While an exotic type of fire, not common to every household, these fires do present an explosion hazard when metal dust or fine metal shavings are present in a confined area. These fires can also be difficult to extinguish due to their reactive nature with water. Like Class ‘B’ and ‘C’ fires, water should be avoided as the primary extinguishing agent. Specialized extinguishing agents have been developed specif- ically for this class of fire. So, as a home- owner or renter you may wonder, what type of extin- guisher would be best to help protect your home? Our rec- ommendation is a basic ABC fire extinguisher. As you may have suspected, an ABC fire extinguisher is effective on most manageable Class ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ fires as described above. These units can be purchased at most hardware, home improve- ment, or general merchandise- type of outlets or stores. When purchasing, assure that the extin- guisher is Underwriters Laborato- ry (UL) listed. As always, feel free to contact me with questions or comments. From the Firehouse runs on Fridays.
