Question 251Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) Electrocution or shock. The reasoning is that a Class C fire involves electrical equipment and wiring, which poses a significant risk of electrocution or shock to the firefighter or anyone attempting to extinguish the fire. Electrical fires can be especially hazardous due to the potential for live electrical components, which can lead to severe injury or even death if not properly managed. The other options are not the primary concerns for a Class C fire. Option A, susceptible to reflash, is more applicable to Class A fires involving ordinary combustible materials. Option C, explosion, is not a primary concern for a Class C fire, as electrical equipment is not typically prone to exploding. Option D, deep-seated fire, is more characteristic of Class A fires, where the fire can penetrate deep into the burning material.
