Hello and Thank you for choosing flamencoengineers.blogspot.com. In my course of training as a technical trainer and teacher this question has been asked regularly and it seems to confuse trainees. fire is classified according to the cause/ source. Basically there are 5 classes. but depending whether it is British or American classification. This are  Classes - A--  common workshop materials eg wood paper clothing -B----- Flammable liquids eg petrol, paints thinners _-C- live electrical equipment -D- combustible metals K---- cooking oils, animal and plants This are well detailed here below Can you now classify fires when Asked to in an exam or interview situation?? I hope you can? flamenco engineers   Now lets look at the types of fire extinguishers to use  we always work hard to keep you, entertained, informed and updated. welcome
