Question: 1 / 400

Which type of fire extinguisher is specifically for electrical fires?

A

B

C

The correct choice is specifically designed for extinguishing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers contain non-conductive agents, making them safe to use on electrical equipment that may be energized. Common extinguishing agents in Type C extinguishers include carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry chemical agents that do not conduct electricity, which helps to prevent the risk of shock while effectively extinguishing the fire.

Type A extinguishers are meant for ordinary combustibles like wood and paper, which do not address the unique dangers associated with electrical fires. Type B extinguishers are used for flammable liquids and gases, and Type D extinguishers are intended for fires involving combustible metals. Thus, these other classes would be unsuitable and potentially hazardous for use on electrical fires, underscoring the importance of using the correct type to ensure safety and effectiveness in extinguishing the fire.
