Question 687 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) A. A fire in a pile of dunnage would be classified as a Class A fire. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, cloth, and plastics. Dunnage, which refers to the packing material used to secure cargo, is typically made of these types of materials, so a fire in a pile of dunnage would fall under the Class A fire category. The other answer choices are incorrect because Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gases, Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, and Class D fires involve combustible metals, none of which accurately describe a fire in a pile of dunnage.
