Knowing the important equipment, such as fire extinguishers or emergency exits, can help in handling the situation effectively.

    Class A fires are fires that involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood and paper.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer (False) is that when putting out a fire, you should aim at the base of the fire, not the top. By aiming at the base, you can cut off the fire's oxygen supply and extinguish it more effectively. Aiming at the top may not be as effective as it only addresses the flames, while the source of the fire remains unaffected.

    The P in the P.A.S.S. technique stands for "Pull the Pin." This refers to the action of pulling out the safety pin in order to activate the fire extinguisher. By pulling the pin, the extinguisher is ready to be used and the user can proceed with the next steps of the technique.

    When putting out a fire, water is always the best method, especially when trying to put out fires in Class B and Class C fire types. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Water is not always the best method for putting out fires, especially when dealing with Class B and Class C fire types. Class B fires involve flammable liquids, such as gasoline or oil, and using water can actually spread the fire and make it worse. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, and using water can be extremely dangerous as it can conduct electricity and cause electrocution. Therefore, for Class B and Class C fires, other methods such as dry chemical extinguishers or carbon dioxide extinguishers are more appropriate.
