Common examples of such liquids include gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, alcohols, oils, and greases. The behavior of a Flüssigkeitsbrand depends on the flash point of the liquid. Liquids with a low flash point, such as gasoline, ignite easily when exposed to an ignition source. Combustible liquids have a higher flash point and require a higher temperature to ignite.
The primary hazard associated with Flüssigkeitsbränden is the rapid spread of fire. If the liquid is being
Extinguishing Flüssigkeitsbrände requires specific methods. Water is generally not effective on its own for many types
