根因分析
灭火器类别：A类（普通可燃物）、B类（易燃液体）、C类（电气）、D类（可燃金属）、K类（食用油）。水灭火器（A类）导电，用于带电设备会导致触电。二氧化碳灭火器（B/C类）对金属火灾（D类）无效，因为金属在高温下燃烧，二氧化碳无法冷却；某些金属（如镁）可能与二氧化碳反应。AI可能混淆灭火器等级或认为'通用型'适用于所有火灾。NFPA 10和OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157要求正确选择灭火器。
English
Fire extinguisher classes: Class A (ordinary combustibles), B (flammable liquids), C (electrical), D (combustible metals), K (cooking oils). Water extinguishers (Class A) conduct electricity, causing electrocution if used on live equipment. CO2 extinguishers (Class B/C) are ineffective on metal fires (Class D) because metals burn at high temperatures and CO2 does not cool them; they may react with some metals (e.g., magnesium). AI may confuse extinguisher ratings or assume 'all-purpose' means safe for all fires. NFPA 10 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157 mandate correct extinguisher selection.

-
For electrical fires (Class C): use a CO2 or dry chemical (ABC) extinguisher. Ensure the extinguisher is rated for Class C (look for a blue circle with 'C'). Never use water. If the fire is small and the device is unplugged, a fire blanket can smother it. Example: 'Pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the handle, sweep side to side.'
-
For metal fires (Class D): use a Class D extinguisher (e.g., Met-L-X or Lith-X). If unavailable, smother with dry sand or sodium chloride (table salt) in large quantities. Do not use water, CO2, or ABC dry chemical. For lithium-ion battery fires, use a lithium fire blanket or Class D extinguisher; if outdoors, let it burn in a safe area.

ABC dry chemical (usually monoammonium phosphate) is ineffective on Class D metal fires; it can react with some metals (e.g., sodium) and may not smother the fire. Class D extinguishers use specialized agents like sodium chloride or copper powder.

Even unplugged, capacitors in electronics can retain lethal charge (e.g., microwave ovens, power supplies). Water conducts across residual charge, causing electrocution. Also, water damages equipment.

CO2 can extinguish the flame but does not cool the battery sufficiently; thermal runaway continues and the battery can reignite. Use a Class D extinguisher or lithium-specific fire blanket.
