Class C fires involve electrical equipment or materials, requiring specific firefighting techniques. Fire departments use dry chemicals, CO2, or non-conductive agents to extinguish these fires, and receive specialized training in electrical hazards. Fire protection engineers design fire safety systems for electrical environments, while electrical code inspectors ensure compliance with safety standards. Building inspectors assess structural integrity and fire safety features, and electrical engineers design electrical systems with safety considerations. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides guidelines for fire prevention and management in electrical environments.
