In the event of a small electrical fire, which of the following type of fire suppressants is needed to extinguish the fire?

Class A fire extinguishers are for ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, or cloth, and typically use water, which is conductive and unsafe for electrical fires.

Class B fire extinguishers are for flammable liquids and gases like grease, oil, or paint, and are not appropriate for electrical fires.

Class C fire extinguishers are specifically designed for fires involving energized electrical equipment and use agents like carbon dioxide (CO2) or dry chemicals, which are non-conductive and will not pose an electrical shock hazard to the user or damage sensitive electronics.

Class D fire extinguishers are for combustible metals, such as magnesium or titanium, and are not suitable for electrical fires.
