Q

To extinguish an electrical fire, you should use __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Classes of fire (A, B, C, D) and which involves energized electrical equipment • Which extinguishing agents conduct electricity vs. which are non‑conductive • Why water‑based or foam agents can be dangerous on live electrical systems

💭 Think About

• First, decide what class of fire an electrical fire is considered and what its main hazard is • Ask yourself which options might contain water or be water‑based, and whether that’s safe around live electrical equipment • Think about which agent is commonly used in machinery spaces and on switchboards specifically because it does not leave residue or conduct electricity

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are water/foam based and therefore potentially conductive • Identify which choice is non‑conductive and commonly used for Class C (electrical) fires • Consider which agent will not damage electrical equipment and leaves no residue after discharge
