Just been asked a question in a fire training session with one of our staff teams:
"If we have Classes A, B, C, D and F fires, why is there no Class E?"
Anyone know the reason, as I had to admit, I didn't know!

Hi,
there is an unoffical class E, which is basically live or electrical equipment.

Always known 'class E' as electrical, but certainly haven't come across class F. Believe class E is now an obsolete classification.

Thanks for the responses.
I'll get back to the staff member with the info that Class E is now obsolete, but used to refer to electrical fires.
Thanks again.

Class F fires involve burning fat; this is I think still an unofficial classification and only came into general use after the development of wet chemical extinguishers designed to tackle burning fat and oil in catering,

Class F extinguishers are being installed into chip shops, fast food outlets etc. They are coloured coded yellow (not cream)(ie the coloured patch on the red body)

Class E is related to Electrical Fires, however not listed in a class. The others are types of fires, however Electricity is the cause of the fire (ignition source) - electricity does not burn..... i seem to recall ...
