Fires are classified based on their fuel into classes A, B, and C. Class A fires involve solid fuels like wood and paper, while class B fires involve flammable liquids. Different types of fire extinguishers can effectively extinguish different fire classes: water for class A fires, dry chemical powder for class B, foam for both class A and B, and carbon dioxide for class B and C fires. Foam works by forming an air blanket over burning liquids to prevent oxygen contact and vapor formation.
