In terms of fire safety, what does Class B represent?

Fires involving combustible metals
Fires involving flammable liquids
Fires involving electrical equipment
Fires involving wood and paper

The correct answer is: Fires involving flammable liquids

Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and paint. These types of fires are characterized by the presence of ignitable liquids that can produce vapors capable of igniting and causing a fire. Fire safety classifications are essential for understanding the appropriate fire extinguishing agents to use; for example, Class B fires are typically extinguished using foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide extinguishers, which are specifically designed to suppress the flames and prevent re-ignition. The distinction between different classes of fires is crucial for effective emergency response. Knowing that Class B specifically pertains to flammable liquids helps first responders and individuals in a facility to choose the correct fire suppression method, enhancing safety and reducing potential damage.
