How to Distinguish Between the Different Classes of Fire

Check out the full course at www.knowledgecity.com/en/libr.... Putting out a fire typically calls for the use of a retardant, such as water or sand; however, all fires are not the same. Learn to distinguish between different types of materials that are burning and the location of the fire because using the wrong fire retardant can make a bad situation worse. For instance, pouring water on burning liquids could spread the fire further. Similarly, pouring water in or around electrical equipment could result in electrocution. Stay safe; learn to distinguish the four different classes of fire: Class A, B, C, and D.

    Speaking as a graphic designer: it is to make the symbols easy to identify and distinguish quickly, from a distance, under stress. Your brain can recognize the color / shape more effectively than discerning each letter.

    I didn't see Class K fires. These are fires with substances such as the animal and vegetable fats present in commercial cooking oils and greases. These types of fires can only be effectively quenched with a Class K fire extinguisher
