Three classes of fire can
occur in a motorhome. Any
fire can fall into more than
one class; a fire that involves
both burning paper and
kitchen grease is a Class AB
fire.
Classes of Fire:
A -
Fires that are fueled by materials
that leave a residue when they burn:
paper, wood, cloth, rubber, and certain
plastics.
B -
Fires that involve flammable liquids
and gases: gasoline, paint thinner,
kitchen grease, propane and acetylene.
C -
Fires that involve energized electrical
wiring or equipment. If electricity to
the equipment
is turned off,
a class C fire
becomes one
of the other
two class fires.
