When using a fire extinguisher always spray at the top of the object that is burning and work your way down.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
When using a fire extinguisher, it is important to aim at the base of the fire, not the top. The fire needs to be deprived of its fuel source, which is usually at the bottom. By spraying at the top, the extinguishing agent may not reach the base and effectively put out the fire. Working your way down from the top can also cause the fire to spread further. Therefore, the correct approach is to aim at the base and sweep the extinguisher side to side until the fire is completely extinguished.Rate this question:
