A bonfire is an example of a _________

• A. Combustible liquid fire
• B. Combustible gas fire
• C. Noncombustible
• D. Combustible solid fire

Answer: (D)

Fires are categorized by the form of fuel they burn: solid, liquid, or gas. A bonfire uses wood, which is a solid fuel, so it’s a combustible solid fire. It isn’t a liquid fuel fire (like gasoline) or a gas fuel fire (like propane), and it isn’t noncombustible since the material actually burns. This classification helps you understand appropriate extinguishing approaches, since solid-fuel fires behave differently from liquid- or gas-fuel fires.
