🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire classes used in marine firefighting (letters vs numbers) • Difference between class of fire and type of extinguisher • What kind of materials burn in each fire class (ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, electrical, metals)

💭 Think About

• Look at which option uses the same labeling system you have seen on fire extinguishers on board ships and in basic firefighting training • Ask yourself: are fires normally categorized by what is burning, or by whether the fuel is flammable or combustible? • Think about whether the Coast Guard and NFPA talk about fire groups using letters (A, B, C, D, K) or using numbers or descriptive words

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which answer choice correctly reflects the standard letter-based classes of fire you memorized for exams • Check if any option is actually describing fuel types rather than the official fire classes • Eliminate any answer that uses a number system you have not seen in USCG or STCW firefighting material
