2. Class B Extinguishers

- Effective against fires involving flammable liquids (gasoline, oil, paint).

3. Class C Extinguishers

- Effective against fires involving electrical equipment (appliances, wiring).

4. Class D Extinguishers

- Effective against fires involving combustible metals (magnesium, titanium).

5. Class K Extinguishers

- Effective against fires involving cooking oils and greases in kitchen settings.

Common Extinguishing Agents

1. *Water*: Effective for Class A fires.

2. *Foam*: Effective for Class A and B fires.

3. *Dry Chemical*: Effective for Class A, B, and C fires.

4. *Carbon Dioxide (CO2)*: Effective for Class B and C fires.

5. *Clean Agent*: Effective for Class A, B, and C fires, with minimal residue.
