== Class-C fires ==
Class-C fires involve [[electricity]] as a continuous power source for the ignition of the fuels associated with electrical equipment, such as plastic cable jackets. The application of water does not always result in effective fire control, and there is a general concern regarding conductivity and personnel safety, possibly resulting in [[electrical shock]]. Class C fires can be effectively controlled by removing the oxygen with a dry powder (typically [[monoammonium phosphate]] and [[sodium bicarbonate]]) or carbon dioxide, dry chemical ABC extinguisher.<ref name="Mitrokostas"/> The source of electricity also needs to be removed to eliminate re-ignition. Once the electricity is removed, the result is a Class A or B fire, where foam or dry chemical powder can be used to further control the fire.<ref name="Mitrokostas"/>
