Q

To fight a class "C" fire, you should use carbon dioxide or __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment • Some extinguishing agents conduct electricity; some are non-conductive • Carbon dioxide is often paired with another non-conductive agent for electrical fires

💭 Think About

• Which of these agents could be safely used around live electrical equipment without risking electrical shock? • Which choices leave no residue or at least do not damage electrical components as much? • Which options are typically used for solid materials, and which are meant for electrical or flammable liquid fires?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which extinguishing agents are non-conductive and safe on energized circuits • Eliminate any options that are primarily used on Class A (ordinary combustibles) fires • Eliminate any options that are typically water-based or produce a conductive solution
