    • Electrical System Malfunction

    • Candles

    • Smoking

    • Children Playing With Matches

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrical System Malfunction
    Explanation
    Electrical system malfunction is one of the leading reasons for a fire in a manufactured home. Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or outdated electrical systems can lead to sparks, short circuits, and ultimately fires.

    • Daily

    • Every Week

    • Twice A Year

    • Once A Month

    Correct Answer
    A. Twice A Year
    Explanation
    It is important for families to practice a fire escape plan regularly to ensure everyone knows what to do in case of a fire emergency. Practicing twice a year allows for enough repetition and reinforcement of the plan without it becoming too routine or forgotten. This frequency strikes a balance between being prepared and not causing unnecessary stress or disruption to daily life.

    In order to keep the aspect of a fire at bay around the outside of your home, how far apart should trees be from each other in the yard?

    • 45 Feet, Pruned To No More Than 12 Feet High

    • 60 Feet. Pruned To 8-10 Feet High

    • 10 Feet, Pruned To No More Than 6 Feet High

    • 30 Feet, And No More Than 8-10 Feet High

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 Feet, And No More Than 8-10 Feet High
    Explanation
    To keep the aspect of a fire at bay around the outside of your home, trees should be at least 30 feet apart from each other in the yard. Additionally, the trees should be pruned to a height of no more than 8-10 feet. This spacing and pruning allow for a sufficient buffer zone between trees, reducing the risk of fire spreading from one tree to another.

    Almost 90% of propane fires in the U.S. are caused by what?

    • Open-Fire Grills, Hot Water Heaters, Stoves

    • Open-Fire Grills, Candles, Stoves

    • Stoves, Cigarettes, Hot Water Heaters

    • Hot Water Heaters, Stoves, Candles

    Correct Answer
    A. Open-Fire Grills, Hot Water Heaters, Stoves
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Open-Fire Grills, Hot Water Heaters, Stoves. This is because propane fires in the U.S. are most commonly caused by these three sources. Open-fire grills can be dangerous if not used properly, as they can easily ignite nearby flammable materials. Hot water heaters can also pose a risk if there is a gas leak or faulty ignition system. Stoves, especially those using propane as fuel, can lead to fires if left unattended or if there is a malfunction. Therefore, these three sources are responsible for the majority of propane fires in the U.S.

    The overpowering fumes from a fire can do what to you to render you incapable of escaping?

    • Make You Vomit

    • Shorten Your Breath

    • Put You Into A Deep Sleep

    • Blind You

    Correct Answer
    A. Put You Into A Deep Sleep
    Explanation
    The overpowering fumes from a fire can put you into a deep sleep because they contain toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling these gases can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness. This deep sleep-like state can render a person incapable of escaping the fire, as they are unconscious and unable to respond to their surroundings.

    What is the most common material ignited in a home fire?

    • Upholstered Furniture

    • Trash

    • Clothing

    • Mattresses

    Correct Answer
    A. Mattresses
    Explanation
    Mattresses are the most common material ignited in a home fire. This is because mattresses are often made of flammable materials such as foam and polyester, which can easily catch fire and spread rapidly. Additionally, mattresses are typically located in bedrooms where people sleep, making them more susceptible to ignition during nighttime when people may not be as alert. Therefore, it is crucial to have fire safety measures in place, such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, to prevent and mitigate the risk of mattress fires in homes.

    • Trash Fires

    • Barbecuing Outside

    • Smoking

    • Cooking Inside

    Correct Answer
    A. Cooking Inside
    Explanation
    Cooking inside is the leading cause of most fires on college or university campuses. This is because students often cook in their dorm rooms or shared kitchen spaces, and accidents such as leaving a stove unattended or using flammable materials can easily result in a fire. Additionally, students may not have the proper knowledge or experience to safely cook indoors, increasing the risk of fire incidents.

    To help prevent a fire hazard, keep stacks of firewood how far away from your house?

    • 10 Feet

    • 20 Feet

    • 50 Feet

    • 30 Feet

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 Feet
    Explanation
    To help prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to keep stacks of firewood at least 30 feet away from your house. This distance is important because it minimizes the risk of fire spreading from the firewood to the house. By keeping the firewood at a safe distance, it reduces the likelihood of accidental ignition and provides a buffer zone in case a fire does occur.
