It is important to respond to every fire alarm as if it were real, even when there are no signs of a fire, because fire alarms are designed to alert people to potential danger. Treating every alarm seriously ensures that individuals are prepared and can evacuate safely in case of an actual fire. It also helps to prevent complacency and ensures that people do not ignore alarms, which could have serious consequences if there is a real emergency. Therefore, the statement is true.

A smoke/heat detector is the correct answer because it is a device that senses smoke or heat in the air and triggers an alarm to alert people of a potential fire. This device is commonly used in homes, offices, and public buildings to provide early warning and help prevent fire-related accidents.

When you discover a fire, the correct course of action is to raise the fire emergency alarm and inform the emergency control center. This is the most important step to ensure the safety of everyone in the building or shop. The fire alarm will alert others to the danger and allow for a quick evacuation. Informing the emergency control center will ensure that professional help is on the way to handle the fire. Using a fire extinguisher without proper knowledge or training can be dangerous and staying in the building without a plan to extinguish the fire puts oneself at risk. Running out of the building without warning others is irresponsible and can endanger the lives of others.

Ignition is not a way to extinguish fire because it refers to the process of starting or igniting a fire, not putting it out. The other options, starvation, smothering, and cooling, are all methods used to extinguish fire. Starvation involves removing the fuel source, smothering involves cutting off the fire's oxygen supply, and cooling involves reducing the temperature of the fire to the point where it cannot sustain itself.

The correct definition of fire is an exothermic chemical reaction from which heat and light are emitted. This means that fire releases energy in the form of heat and light, making it a result of a chemical reaction that produces these effects.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers should not be used in confined spaces because they can displace oxygen, leading to a lack of breathable air. This can result in asphyxiation and potential harm to individuals in the confined space. Inhaling the carbon dioxide fumes can also cause respiratory issues and other health problems.

Flash Point can be defined as the lowest temperature at which vapors of the material will ignite, when given an ignition source. This means that the material will only catch fire if there is an external source of ignition, such as a spark or flame. The flash point is an important safety measure, as it helps determine the potential fire hazard of a substance.

Jamshedpur is the lead plant for Fire Safety Management Standard because it has implemented effective fire safety measures and practices. It has set a benchmark for other plants to follow in terms of fire safety management. The plant in Jamshedpur has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the safety of its employees and property by implementing comprehensive fire safety protocols and regularly conducting fire safety drills and trainings. As the lead plant, Jamshedpur serves as a model for other plants to learn from and replicate their successful fire safety management practices.

The TEC Powder extinguisher is suitable for a fire involving combustible metals because it contains a special type of powder called TEC (Thermalite Extinguishing Compound) that is specifically designed to extinguish fires caused by combustible metals. This type of extinguisher is effective in smothering the fire and preventing it from spreading further.

IS 15683 : 2006 is the correct answer because it is the Indian Standard Code for Portable Fire Extinguishers - Performance & Construction specification.

The correct answer is filtered normal atmospheric air. SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) sets are used by firefighters and other emergency responders to provide them with a supply of breathable air in hazardous environments. The cylinder of the SCBA set contains filtered normal atmospheric air, which is free from contaminants and suitable for breathing. This ensures that the user has a clean and safe air supply while working in dangerous conditions.
