Question 193Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) Class B. A fire in the paint locker would be considered a Class B fire because paint, varnishes, and other flammable liquids and gases are the primary fuels involved. Class B fires involve flammable liquids, gases, and greases, and require the use of dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguishers to effectively put them out. The other answer choices are incorrect because Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials like wood and paper, Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, and Class D fires involve combustible metals, none of which accurately describe a fire in a paint locker.
