CLASSIFICATION OF FIRES GROUP A - fires to solid
materials such as wood, textile materials, paper,
rubber, plants, and some plastics. These
materials are not melting in the heat to high
temperatures
42
TRAINING OF FIRE PROTECTION, WORK HYGIENE AND
SAFETY FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS OF WROCLAW UNIVERSITY
OF TECHNOLOGY
GROUP B - flammable liquid fires (gasoline,
paints, solvents, oils, lubricants) and the solid
part of the materials, which melt in high
temperature - change the physical state from the
permanent to the liquid (paraffin, some plastics)
43
TRAINING OF FIRE PROTECTION, WORK HYGIENE AND
SAFETY FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS OF WROCLAW UNIVERSITY
OF TECHNOLOGY
Group C - fire gases (methane, propane, butane,
acetylene). There are relatively rare and require
an action procedure. Indispensable for their
decommissioning of a cut-off of gas to the
combustion zone
44
TRAINING OF FIRE PROTECTION, WORK HYGIENE AND
SAFETY FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS OF WROCLAW UNIVERSITY
OF TECHNOLOGY
Group D - the metal fires, such as aluminum,
magnesium, potassium or sodium. This is a type of
fire that occurs relatively rarely. The risk of
fire or even explosion of metal is almost
exclusively in factories that use them as raw
materials most often in the form of powder or
metal flakes
45
TRAINING OF FIRE PROTECTION, WORK HYGIENE AND
SAFETY FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS OF WROCLAW UNIVERSITY
OF TECHNOLOGY
Group F - to fire food fat. This is a particular
type of fire that occurs rarely. The most
effective way to extinguish these fires is the
cut-off oxygen to the outbreak of fire

• Fire-fighting
• GROUP A - solids liquids and foam extinguishers
• GROUP B - Flammable liquids liquids,foam,

• GROUP C - Flammable Gases powder
  extinguishers,
• GROUP D - metals powder extinguishers
• GROUP F - fat F-type fire extinguishers
  containing potassium acetate
