Fire classification
Fire classification is a system of categorizing fires with regard to the type(s) of combustible material(s) involved, and the form(s) of suitable extinguishing agent(s). Classes are often assigned letter designations, which can differ between territories that utilise different standards. Classes are typically applied in a residential, commercial or industrial context outside of unplanned and uncontrolled vegetation fires, which typically don't fall into this type of classification and often involve different methods of suppression.
