If a JP-5 pump room caught fire, what type of fire would it be considered?

A fire in a JP-5 pump room is classified as a Bravo fire. Bravo fires involve flammable liquids and gases, which includes fuels like JP-5, a type of jet fuel used by the Navy. These fires are particularly hazardous because they can spread quickly and are challenging to extinguish with water. Instead, special fire-fighting agents that can smother the flames or absorb the heat must be used. Understanding the classification of fires is crucial for effective fire-fighting strategies and ensuring safety protocols are followed in a hazardous environment like a fuel pump room.
