What 'type' the fire is.

The right extinguisher must be used for any fire.

Or, more importantly - it can be very dangerous to use the wrong type of extinguisher, such as one with water should never be used on an electrical fire.

Trick question, if the fire extinguisher is full of water, such as a Class 2A.
