Question 25
Which Class of Fires involves energized electrical equipment?
Options:
A.
Class A
B.
Class B
C.
Class C
D.
Class K
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as computers, servers, switches, cables, and wiring. These fires require the use of non-conductive extinguishing agents, such as carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or clean agent, to prevent electrical shock and damage to the equipment. Water-based extinguishers, such as Class A or K, are not suitable for Class C fires, as water can conduct electricity and cause electrocution or short circuits.
