Final answer:

The 'class' of fires that consists of flammable liquids including stove alcohol, gasoline, and diesel is Class B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'class' of fires that consists of flammable liquids including stove alcohol, gasoline, and diesel is Class B.

Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and alcohol. These fires are fueled by liquids and can be extinguished using methods that remove the fuel or cut off the oxygen supply.

For example, if there is a fire involving gasoline, a Class B fire extinguisher can be used to smother the flames and prevent the fire from spreading.

Fires due to flammable liquids including stove alcohol, gasoline and diesel are classified as “Class B”.

Class B fires are caused by hydrocarbon fuels and are rarely controlled. They can easily develop into incredibly large fires that can injure people and destroy buildings. Water based extinguishers should not be used since hydrocarbons only float in water.
