Which option correctly pairs each fire class with its typical fuel?

• A. Class A Rubbish Wood; Class B Flammable Liquid; Class C Electronic Equipment; Class D Flammable Metal
• B. Class A Flammable Liquid; Class B Rubbish Wood; Class C Flammable Metal; Class D Electronic Equipment
• C. Class A Electronic Equipment; Class B Flammable Metal; Class C Rubbish Wood; Class D Flammable Liquid
• D. Class A Flammable Metal; Class B Electronic Equipment; Class C Flammable Liquid; Class D Rubbish Wood

Answer: (A)

Fires are categorized by the fuel they involve, so each class points to a typical type of fuel. Class A fires are ordinary combustibles like rubbish and wood, Class B covers flammable liquids, Class C involves electrical equipment, and Class D refers to certain metals. The pairing that matches these fuel types exactly is rubbish/wood with the ordinary combustibles class, flammable liquids with the flammable liquids class, electrical equipment with the electrical fires class, and flammable metals with the metal fires class. This matching is why the option is correct: it aligns each fire class with its usual fuel, guiding appropriate safety actions and extinguisher choices. Misplacing any fuel would lead to choosing the wrong approach and could be dangerous, such as applying water to an electrical fire or a metal fire.
