1. What sort of fires are 'Water' extinguishers used on?

Explanation

Water extinguishers are used on burning paper or wood fires because water can effectively cool down the temperature of the fire and extinguish it. When water is applied to burning paper or wood, it absorbs the heat from the fire, reducing the temperature and preventing the fire from spreading. However, water should not be used on fires involving cooking oil or fat or electrical fires as it can cause the fire to spread or result in electrical shock.

2. What is 'Stage 1' of the evacuation procedures?

Explanation

Stage 1 of the evacuation procedures is to remove people from immediate danger. This means that the priority is to ensure the safety of individuals by getting them away from any immediate threats or hazards. This may involve moving them to a safe location within the same building or to an assembly area outside the threatened area or building. Calling the emergency services is important, but it is not specifically mentioned as part of Stage 1 in this question.

Finally, efforts should be made to extinguish the fire using appropriate methods.

9. What types of fires can Dry Chemical Extinguishers marked 'AB:(E)' be used on?

Explanation

Dry Chemical Extinguishers marked 'AB:(E)' can be used on flammable gases and ordinary combustibles. Flammable gases refer to any type of gas that can ignite and cause a fire, such as propane or natural gas. Ordinary combustibles include materials like wood, paper, and cloth that can easily catch fire and sustain combustion. However, these extinguishers may not be effective on fires involving cooking oils and fats, which require a different type of extinguishing agent.

Submit
10. Which of the following locations is a 'safe' assembly area in the event of a total evacuation?

Explanation

The Railway Car Park and the Village Green are both considered safe assembly areas in the event of a total evacuation. These locations are likely to be open spaces that can accommodate a large number of people and provide a safe distance from any potential hazards. The Safeway Car Park may not be a suitable assembly area as it is likely to be congested with vehicles and may not have enough space to safely accommodate a large group of people.
