A fire class is a system of categorizing fire with regard to the type of material and fuel for combustion. Class letters are often assigned to the different types of fire,[1] but these differ between territories; there are separate standards for the United States (NFPA 10 Chapter 5.2.1-5.2.5), Europe (DIN EN2 Classification of fires (European Standard) ISO3941 Classification of fires (International Standard)), and Australia (AS/NZS 1850). The fire class is used to determine the types of extinguishing agents that can be used for that category.[2] By matching suppression tactics to particular dangers, these categorization systems were created to increase firefighting safety and efficacy. Other classes, such Class K (or Class F), were added throughout time to address specific fire hazards, such as those brought on by flammable cooking oils.[3] The significance of regional adaptation in fire response is shown by this progression.[4]
