- Class C (Energized Electrical Equipment): Fires involving live electrical equipment, circuits, and appliances.
- Class D (Combustible Metals): Fires involving reactive metals like magnesium, titanium, and sodium (requires specialized extinguishers).
- Class K (Cooking Oils & Fats): Fires involving high-temperature cooking oils and fats, common in commercial kitchens.
