🔍 Key Concepts

• Class C electrical fires and what makes them different from ordinary combustibles • Why water or wet agents can be dangerous around energized equipment • Properties of safe extinguishing agents for live electrical circuits

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: If the equipment is still energized, what property of the extinguishing agent matters most for crew safety? • Which option, if incorrect, could actually increase the risk of electric shock to the person using the extinguisher? • Which property directly relates to how electricity behaves, not how fire burns?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fire class covers energized electrical equipment in basic firefighting theory. • Eliminate any choices that would promote current flow or increase shock hazard. • Focus on the option that would prevent electricity from passing through the agent to your body.
