Question 717Deck Safety70% to pass
Which type of portable fire extinguisher is best suited for putting out a Class D fire?
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer is A) Dry powder.
Dry powder fire extinguishers are the best choice for putting out a Class D fire, which involves combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, or sodium. Dry powder extinguishers work by creating a barrier between the metal fuel and the oxygen in the air, smothering the fire. The other options (B, C, and D) are not effective for Class D fires, as they do not provide the necessary cooling and insulating properties to safely extinguish these types of fires.
