gloeien = to glow, to smoulder

Class A fires consist of combustibles, such as wood, paper or cloth. This type of fire can be put out with water-filled extinguishers. When using these extinguishers, get as close to the fire as possible without endangering yourself, and aim the nozzle toward the base of the flames. Continue spraying until all smouldering material is wet down. Deep-seated fires, such as in baled materials, must be thoroughly soaked and may have to be pulled apart in order to reach the smouldering fire.
A multipurpose dry-chemical extinguisher can also be used on Class A fires. With this type of extinguisher the flames are attacked at the edge of the fire with the nozzle directed at the fire in a sweeping motion. The powdered chemical becomes sticky when heated, allowing it to form a film that clings to the heated material and smother the fire
