A fire in a pile of canvas is classified as class _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A.
A fire in a pile of canvas is classified as a Class A fire. Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, cloth, and plastics. These materials typically leave a residue when burned. The Class A classification is based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) fire classification system, which is commonly used for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations.
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 canvas.
