Which fires types are Halon extinguishers used to fight?

• A. A, B, and C
• B. A and B only
• C. B and C only
• D. A, C, and D

Answer: (A)

Halon extinguishers are effective on fires that involve ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment because the agent interrupts the flame’s chemical reactions and, in electrical fires, is non-conductive around energized gear. This makes them suitable for Class A, Class B, and Class C fires. They aren’t used for metal fires, which require different, specialized agents (Class D). So the correct choice is the one that lists ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires.
