In the pictograph system, which class of fire is represented by a burning trash can beside a wood fire?

• A. Class B
• B. Class A
• C. Class C
• D. Class D

Answer: (B)

Fires are classified by the material burning, and the pictograph shows burning wood and a burning trash can. Both are classic examples of ordinary combustibles, like wood, paper, textiles, and household trash. This makes Class A the best fit, because that category covers common everyday materials that ignite and burn vigorously.

If the pictograph depicted flammable liquids, energized electrical equipment, or reactive metals, those would correspond to Class B, Class C, or Class D respectively. But since the scene involves ordinary combustibles, Class A is the correct interpretation.
