🔍 Key Concepts

• Class C (electrical) fires and how they differ from other fire classes • Risk to personnel vs. risk to equipment during firefighting • Why de-energizing equipment is emphasized in electrical fire procedures

💭 Think About

• When you first discover an electrical fire, what is the primary hazard that can immediately injure or kill firefighters? • If you had to choose between preserving electrical power and protecting people, which should take priority under safety principles? • How does the presence of live current affect which extinguishing agents and tactics you can safely use?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option focuses on personnel safety rather than equipment or spaces • Check which choice is directly related to the hazard from live electrical current • Eliminate options that are mainly about comfort, convenience, or location rather than immediate life safety
