    Answer:

    Explanation:

    ABC Powder: sprays a very fine chemical powder. This acts to blanket the fire and suffocate it. Class A, B, C fires

    Carbon dioxide: extinguishes CO2. By doing so, it removes oxygen from the fire, effectively suffocating it of oxygen. Class B fires

    Foam: spray a type of foam that expands when it hits the air and blankets the fire. This prevents the vapors from rising off the liquid to feed the fire, thus starving it of fuel. Class A and B

    Water: releases microscopic water molecules that fight the fire on a variety of levels. the level of oxygen in the air is decreased, which helps to suffocate the fire. Class: most all

    also, your fire classes:

    Class A: freely burning, combustible solid materials such as wood or paper

    Class B: flammable liquid or gas

    Class C: energized electrical fire (energized electrical source serves as the ignitor of a class A or B fire – if electrical source is removed, it is no longer a class C fire)

    Class D: metallic fire (titanium, zirconium, magnesium, sodium)

    Class K: cooking fires – animal or vegetable oils or fats
