Class A Fires: Common Combustibles:

Class A fires involve solid combustible materials such as wood, paper, fabric, and plastic. These fires are often the most common in homes and workplaces. To prevent them, it is essential to keep flammable materials away from heat sources and have suitable fire extinguishers on hand.

Class B Fires: Flammable Liquids:

Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, oils, paints, and solvents. These fires can spread quickly and pose a high risk of explosion. To prevent them, it is important to store and handle flammable liquids properly, maintain well-ventilated areas, and use appropriate safety equipment.

Class C Fires: Electrical Equipment:

Class C fires are related to electrical equipment and wiring systems. These fires originate from short circuits or overheating in electrical devices. To prevent them, regular maintenance of electrical equipment is essential, avoiding power overloads, and ensuring the use of good condition cables and plugs.

Class D Fires: Combustible Metals:

Class D fires involve combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, and sodium. These fires require specialized extinguishing agents and specific firefighting techniques. Prevention of these fires involves proper handling of combustible metals and a deep understanding of associated risks.

Class K Fires: Kitchen Grease Fires:

Class K fires are kitchen fires involving highly flammable oils and grease. These fires can occur in restaurants, commercial kitchens, and homes. To prevent them, it is crucial to keep kitchen areas clean, use suitable fire extinguishers, and have specific fire suppression systems for grease.
