To put out a class D metal fire, you must smother the fire and eliminate the oxygen element in the fire.
<h3>What is a Class D fire?</h3>
A class D fire is a type of fire that cannot be extinguished by water. This is because adding water to it reacts with other elements in the fire intensifying the fire even more.
Smothering in this context involves adding a solution like carbon dioxide (CO2) into the fire, this results in a reduction of oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the class D fire.
By so doing, smothering the fire eliminates the oxygen element in the fire, thereby extinguishing the fire.
