🔍 Key Concepts

• Class C fires (electrical equipment) and which agents are non-conductive • Differences between water/foam, dry chemical, and CO₂ (carbon dioxide) extinguishers • Why some extinguishers can be dangerous around energized electrical equipment

💭 Think About

• Identify which extinguisher agents conduct electricity or can leave a path for current to flow • Think about which agents smother the fire without needing contact with the actual energized components • Consider which combinations in the choices are both safe to use on energized electrical equipment

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which extinguisher classes are specifically rated for energized electrical fires (Class C) • Check whether water or foam are ever recommended on live electrical panels or wiring • Confirm that both extinguisher types in your chosen answer are non‑conductive and approved for Class C use
