A Class F fire involves fat or cooking oil and although this is technically a sub-class fire because they’re the cause of flammable liquids or gases, this type differs from conventional fires because they burn at incredibly higher temperatures. Flammable liquids, like petrol, have low auto ignition and flash temperatures, whereas fats and cooking oils need temperatures of around 340°C to burst into flames. These liquids have such unique characteristics because of their unusual flash point, that they have been placed into their very own category. Due to the nature of the liquids, Class F fires
