🔍 Key Concepts

• The fire classification system (Classes A, B, C, D, and K) and what each class represents • The typical materials involved in Class C fires, especially on ships • How electricity affects the method of firefighting and choice of extinguishing agent

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask yourself: is this something that burns by itself, or is it mainly dangerous because it is energized by electricity? • Which class of fire is specifically associated with energized electrical equipment rather than the solid or liquid fuel itself? • If power were disconnected from the item in question, would the fire still be considered Class C, or would it change to another class?

✅ Before You Answer

• Review which class of fire covers energized electrical equipment such as panels, motors, and wiring • Identify which option in the list is typically found as part of electrical systems rather than as a stand‑alone fuel like wood or fuel oil • Confirm that the material you choose would normally require a non-conductive extinguishing agent (e.g., CO₂ or dry chemical) for safe firefighting
