Class B fires include fires that involve flammable liquids or gases. Examples of Class B fire fuels are petrol, oil, alcohol, paraffin, acetone, some paints, diesel, heating oil, varnishes, solvents, wax, tar, bitumen, liquid burning plastics like kerosene, and flammable gases such as propane and butane. These fires do not involve solid combustibles or electrical equipment but rather materials that are liquid or become liquid when heated and burn with an open flame. Class B fires are common in settings such as workshops, garages, petrol stations, households, industrial plants, and camping areas where flammable liquids or gases are stored or used.
