Question 34Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is D) "D" fire. A fire involving aluminum powder would be classified as a Class D fire. Class D fires involve combustible metals, such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and sodium. These fires require specialized extinguishing agents and techniques, as they cannot be effectively extinguished with regular water or foam-based fire extinguishers. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) "A" fires involve ordinary combustible materials, which do not apply to a fire involving aluminum powder. B) "B" fires involve flammable liquids and gases, which also do not apply to a fire involving a combustible metal like aluminum. C) "C" fires involve energized electrical equipment, which is not the case for a fire involving aluminum powder.
