🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire classification categories (A, B, C, D) and what each one represents • Typical fuel types: ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, electrical, combustible metals • The nature of canvas and cloth materials on board a vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is burning canvas a solid material, a liquid fuel, an energized electrical source, or a metal? • Which fire class is associated with common shipboard items like wood, paper, cloth, and furnishings? • Which classes are clearly NOT correct for something like a pile of canvas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the state of the fuel (solid, liquid, gas, metal) in this scenario • Match that fuel state to the standard fire class definitions (A, B, C, D) • Eliminate any class that is mainly for flammable liquids, energized electrical equipment, or combustible metals
