🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire class definitions: What types of materials does each class (A, B, C, D) cover? • Ordinary combustibles vs. flammable liquids vs. energized electrical sources • What is actually burning in a dryer fire in an operating laundry room?

💭 Think About

• Identify what specific fuel(s) are most likely involved in a running dryer (think about what is inside and what parts are energized). • Ask yourself whether the main hazard here is the contents, the fuel/heat source, or the construction material of the machine. • Consider how the fire would most likely be extinguished safely, and which fire extinguisher class would be appropriate.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review what Class A fires involve and examples typically given in training. • Review what Class B and Class C fires involve, particularly: liquids vs. energized electrical equipment. • Confirm whether the primary fuel in this situation is a metal, a liquid, an electrical component, or ordinary combustible material.
