87. Metals: potassium, sodium, aluminum,
magnesium
Unless you work in a laboratory or in an industry that
uses these materials, it is unlikely you'll have to deal with
a Class D fire. It takes special extinguishing agents
(Metal-X, foam) to fight such a fire.
Class-D

91. APWs are designed for Class A (wood, paper, cloth) fires only

92. CO2s are designed for Class B and C (flammable
