    An "A" class fire is fueled by:

    • Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics

    • Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, acetone

    • Electrical: energized electrical equipment

    Correct Answer
    A. Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics
    Explanation
    An "A" class fire is fueled by combustible materials such as wood, paper, cloth, trash, and plastics. These materials are commonly found in homes, offices, and other environments. When ignited, they can sustain and spread the fire rapidly. Flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, grease, and acetone are categorized separately as Class B fires. Electrical fires, on the other hand, involve energized electrical equipment and are classified as Class C fires.

    Correct Answer
    A. Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, acetone
    Explanation
    A "B" class fire is fueled by flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, grease, and acetone. This means that if a fire is classified as a "B" class fire, it is likely that the source of the fire is one of these flammable liquids. Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics, and energized electrical equipment are not the primary fuel sources for a "B" class fire.
