What type of fire is a Class C fire?
- A.A fire involving energized electrical equipment
- B.A fire in a load of lumber
- C.A fire in bedding and clothing
- D.A fire in a fuel tank
Correct answer
A. A fire involving energized electrical equipment
Why
Class C means electricity is part of the hazard, so a non-conductive agent is needed until the power is cut. Once the equipment is de-energized, the fire is fought as the class of whatever material is actually burning.
