Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class D fires involve combustible materials such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium (exotic metal fires). Class A fires involve common combustibles such as wood and paper, Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gases, and Class C fires involve electrical equipment. Class D fires involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium. These fires require a special extinguishing agent designed specifically for metal fires, such as dry powder extinguishers. Using water or other typical extinguishing agents can actually make the fire worse.
