Class B extinguishers fight Flammable Liquid fires. The extinguisher classes: Class A: flammable solids Class B: flammable liquids Class C: fires involving electrical equipment. These agents don't conduct electricity. No extinguisher is rated as only for Class C fires; you will find Class B-C and Class A-B-C extinguishers. Class D: flammable metals Class K: kitchen fires
Class b
An electrical fire is a class 'C' fire. In addition, Class 'A' is combustibles that leave an ash. (Paper, etc.) Class 'B' is flammable liquids. Class 'C' is electrical. Class 'D' is a metal fire.
A class A extingquisher is intended to put out things that when burned, leave an ash--hence class A. They are usually some form of liquid or plain water. A class B fire is a liquid fire and using a class A extingquisher will only add volumn to the liquid that is burning making it a larger area to put out. With a class B fire you need something that will smother the fire without making it spread out even farther.
A water fire extinguisher (called a "Class A"extinguisher) is only useful on fires involving wood, paper, cardboard, and most plastics. An extinguisher labelled "Class B" is for fires involving flammable liquids, and "Class C" is for electrical equipment fires.
