Fire extinguishers are rated as class $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$, or D depending on the types of fire that they are effective in extinguishing: Class A extinguishers are for normal combustibles such as wood and paper. Class B extinguishers are for flammable liquids such as oil and gasoline. Class C extinguishers are for electrical fires.
15. Four electricians are discussing hazardous locations. Electrician A says that hazardous location classifications are determined by the presence of gases, dust, or ignitable fibers. Electrician B says that Division 2 conditions would create a fire or explosion under normal circumstances. Electrician C says that hazardous location classifications are determined by the presence of gases, dust, available water, or ignitable fibers. Electrician D says that the presence of hazardous substances does not limit the selection of wiring. Which of the following statements is correct? A. Electrician B is correct B. Electrician D is correct C. Electrician C is correct D. Electrician A is correct
