What type of fire is associated with combustion of metals?

  1. Class A

  2. Class B

  3. Class C

  4. Class D

The correct answer is: Class D

Fires involving combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, aluminum, and other metals, are classified as Class D fires. This classification is specifically designated for metal fires due to the unique challenges they present. They require special extinguishing agents that are specifically formulated to combat metal fires, as traditional methods of extinguishing fires—such as water or foam—can exacerbate the flames and lead to explosive reactions. Understanding this classification is crucial for safety and effective fire response strategies in environments where these materials are present.
