Class F Fires: Grease Fires or Cooking Fires
Class F fires involve flammable liquids, similar to Class B fires, but are specifically related to food service and the
restaurant industry. These common fires start from the combustion of liquid cooking materials including grease,
oils, and vegetable and animal fats.
Because they can spread quickly and be difficult to manage, Class K fires are some of the most dangerous. Water
can make the situation worse, but smothering the flames or using a wet agent fire extinguisher is effective.
