🔍 Key Concepts

• Class B fires involve flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, and diesel • Different extinguisher agents: water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO₂) • The effect of water on burning flammable liquids (spread vs. smother)

💭 Think About

• Which extinguisher types smother a fire by removing oxygen or interrupting the chemical reaction, and which can actually spread burning liquid? • Think about what happens if you spray water onto a pan of burning oil or gasoline—does it stay put or carry the fuel with it? • Which agents are specifically recommended for machinery spaces and fuel fires aboard vessels, and which are mostly for Class A (ordinary combustibles)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which extinguisher types are approved for Class B fires in standard fire-fighting guidance • Consider the behavior of burning fuel when mixed or pushed by a water stream • Remember that some extinguisher types are multi‑class (A/B/C) while others are mainly Class A only
