What type of fire does the TAU-2H primarily target?

The TAU-2H is designed primarily to target Class B fires, which are fires fueled by flammable liquids, gases, or greases. This classification encompasses a wide range of substances commonly found in aviation environments, such as aviation fuel, lubricants, and other combustible liquids.

The design and function of the TAU-2H involve utilizing specific agents and methods effective for suppressing fires that fall under this classification. For example, extinguishing agents like foam, dry chemical, or CO2 are utilized to smother the flames and prevent the fire from reigniting. This makes the TAU-2H particularly suitable for emergency situations that involve flammable materials, underscoring its relevance in a naval aviation context where such risks are prevalent.

The other options involve different classes of fires, with electrical fires not being primarily addressed by the TAU-2H as these require specialized extinguishing agents that do not conduct electricity. Similarly, wood fires are classified as Class A, which are not the main focus of the TAU-2H. Thus, the emphasis on Class B fires reflects the specific capabilities and intended use of the TAU-2H in critical firefighting scenarios.
