A burning AC motor would be considered what class of fire?
• Fire classes based on type of fuel and electrical involvement • Differences between Class A, B, C, and D fires • How electricity changes the way you fight a fire
• Ask yourself: What is actually burning in an electric motor, and is the circuit still energized? • Which fire class specifically mentions energized electrical equipment? • If the power is shut off, does the fire class stay the same, or would it then be treated as another type of fire?
• Review which class covers ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, cloth • Review which class covers flammable liquids like fuel and oil • Review which class covers energized electrical equipment such as motors, switchboards, and wiring
