Question 1 of 3

A grease fire starts in a deep fryer. What should you never do?

 

Water on a grease fire can spread burning oil. Use the right extinguisher or get out.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

At which stage of a fire is a portable extinguisher appropriate?

 

An extinguisher is only for a small fire that has not started to spread.

Lesson 2, How fire works, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Which situation means you should NOT fight the fire?

 

If the fire is spreading or the exit is blocked, leave.

Lesson 4, Fight or flight?, teaches this. See the outline
