🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of an ABC-rated fire extinguisher (what A, B, and C stand for) • Typical fuel types for Class A, Class B, and Class C fires • Which fire classes dry chemical extinguishers are designed to handle well vs. poorly

💭 Think About

• Match each answer choice to a fire class (A, B, or C) based on the burning material or situation described • Ask yourself: if power is secured on electrical equipment, does the fire class change? How? • Think about which situation might require a more specialized extinguisher than a general-purpose ABC unit

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which class of fire involves ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth • Confirm which class of fire involves flammable liquids like oil and paint • Confirm which class of fire involves energized electrical equipment, and whether ABC dry chemical is usually considered suitable or not for that use
