🔍 Key Concepts

• Class B fires (flammable liquids) and which agents are designed for them • Behavior of water streams on flammable liquids like paint and solvents • Use of smothering agents in enclosed spaces such as paint lockers

💭 Think About

• First, decide what class of fire a paint locker fire is and which types of extinguishers are normally recommended for that class • Think about what happens if you hit a pool of flammable liquid with a solid stream of water – does it help or spread the fire? • Compare which listed agents remove oxygen or smother vapors most effectively in a small, enclosed compartment

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are suitable for Class B (flammable liquid) fires • Eliminate any agent that is likely to spread burning liquid • Favor choices that smother vapors and do not leave conductive or messy residue in a confined space like a paint locker
