fire classification

**fire classification**
A taxonomy used to categorize different types of fires based on the materials involved and their combustion characteristics. Understanding fire classification is essential for selecting the appropriate firefighting methods and equipment. Common classes include Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (electrical fires), Class D (flammable metals), and Class K (cooking oils and fats). This classification helps ensure effective and safe fire suppression.
