Class A class B and class C fires can be extinguished by ABC fire extinguishers or by water. They can also be smothered by non-flammable powder or dirt if small enough.Class ABC extinguishers are filled with a chemical powder that deprives a fire of oxygen needed to sustain combustion. class D fires must be extinguished by class D fire extinguishers only and water must not be used to try to extinguish them and classy fires such as computer equipment should be put out by carbon dioxide fire extinguishers
