🔍 Key Concepts

• Classes of fire (Class A, B, C, D, K) and which agents are safe around energized electrical equipment • Conductivity of water and foam vs. non‑conductive agents • How CO₂ and fog act on a fire (cooling vs. smothering, and effect on equipment and personnel)

💭 Think About

• Which choice(s) could create a risk of electric shock when sprayed on live electrical gear? • Which agents work mainly by smothering the fire (removing oxygen) rather than by soaking or conducting electricity into the equipment? • On board ships, what extinguishing media are commonly placed near switchboards and control panels?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which extinguishers are rated for Class C (electrical) fires in your study materials • Eliminate any option that is water-based and conductive when used on energized circuits • Think about which agent is typically installed in CO₂ rooms, machinery spaces, and electrical equipment spaces on ships
