🔍 Key Concepts

• Class B fires involve flammable liquids like gasoline or oil • How foam fire extinguishers actually stop combustion • The basic fire tetrahedron: heat, fuel, oxygen, and chemical reaction

💭 Think About

• Think about what a foam blanket does when it sits on top of burning fuel. What is it blocking or changing? • For a Class B liquid fire, which method is most effective: reducing heat, separating fuel from air, or swapping out the fuel? • Does foam primarily cool the burning liquid, or does it act more like a lid on a pot?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall what the main action of foam is on a liquid surface • Check which option best matches the idea of forming a blanket over the fuel • Be sure your choice fits specifically for Class B (flammable liquid) fires, not all fire types in general
