Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When fighting a fire outside, what is one of the most important things to consider?

Answer: Wind direction

It is important to always consider the wind direction, the outside air temperature and also strength of the wind.

2. What is another consideration you should look at before fighting a fire?

Answer: Can you do it safely?

Whenever you look at fighting a fire, always make sure it is safe to do so. Also make sure you have the correct extinguisher and that it is charged. Remember you are not trained in the way firefirghters are trained.

3. When you have finished using an extinguisher what should you do with it?

Answer: Get it tested and refilled

This should be a priority, as it may be needed in the future and nobody wants to go and use one and find it empty. PLEASE DONT LEAVE THIS JOB FOR OTHERS!

4. If you were putting out an electrical fire you would use water?

Answer: No

Water is a good electrical conductor and if you used it to put out an electrical fire, you would probably be electrocuted. The ones to use for electrical fires are either dry chemical powder or CO2 (carbon dioxide).

5. Are fire trucks the same colour through out the world?

Answer: No

Fire trucks are predominantly red, however they do come in different colours depending on what part of the world you are in. An example is in South Australia there are red and white trucks. White trucks are used for the Country Fire Service in South Australia.

6. What is the best substance to use to put out most fires?

Answer: Water

Water quells most fires. It is a cheap and plentiful source to extinguish fires.

7. When calling for the fire service to report a fire, which of the following should you definitely do?

Answer: Mention the address

Other important information that would also be helpful may include: What is burning? Are there any people involved? as well as the approximate size of thebuilding, vehicle etc. Really helpful information would be what is inside the building.

8. Should all homes have an evacuation procedure, and an assembly point?

Answer: Yes

Most people seem to think that this is only for workplaces. Children need to be told and educated how to get out safely and where to be. This makes it easier to account for all personel. This will help to prevent firefighters from looking for someone who has been accounted for.

9. What is one of the considerations you would need to look at when fighting a car fire?

Answer: Is it on gas (liquid petroleum/LPG)?

LPG-fuelled cars can be dangerous if correct care is not taken due to the volatile nature of gas. When the tank gets hot, it can explode, whereas in petrol (gasoline) cars, normally the fuel tanks are more heat resistant and rarely explode.

10. Before using an extinguisher, what is first thing you should consider?

Answer: Right extinguisher, right fire

It is very important that the correct extinguisher is used, as the wrong one could cause harm to you and the surroundings.
