If the items shown in the illustration are burning, this fire would be a Class __________. SF-0001

Correct Answer: Option D — "A"

Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, cloth, or rubber. These materials leave ash and require cooling with water or water-based agents to absorb heat and extinguish the fire. This classification is fundamental to USCG fire safety training and emergency response protocols for shipboard fires.
