Correct Answer
A. Refer the facility manager to fire prevention personnel.Explanation
If during an inspection, you believe that the facility does not have an adequate number of fire extinguishers, the correct course of action is to refer the facility manager to fire prevention personnel. Fire prevention personnel are trained and knowledgeable in fire safety regulations and can assess the facility's fire extinguisher needs and provide guidance on the appropriate number and placement of extinguishers. They can also assist in ensuring that the facility is in compliance with fire safety regulations. Having additional extinguishers installed or submitting AF Form 979 to the installation manager may not be the appropriate actions without consulting fire prevention personnel.
