    The elements of Fire Triangle are:

    • Heat, Oxygen, Fuel

    • Heat, CO2, Fuel

    • Qxygen, Wood, CO2

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat, Oxygen, Fuel
    Explanation
    The elements of the Fire Triangle are heat, oxygen, and fuel. These three components are essential for a fire to occur. Heat provides the energy to initiate and sustain the combustion process. Oxygen is necessary to support the chemical reaction of fire, as it is the oxidizing agent. Fuel refers to any material that can burn and provide the necessary combustible material for the fire. Without any one of these elements, a fire cannot be sustained. Therefore, the correct answer is Heat, Oxygen, Fuel.

    How to put the fire out?

    • Cooling

    • Starvation

    • Smothering

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because all three methods mentioned - cooling, starvation, and smothering - are effective ways to put out a fire. Cooling involves reducing the temperature of the fire, which can be done by spraying water or using fire extinguishers. Starvation means removing the fuel source or cutting off the oxygen supply, which can be achieved by turning off the gas or electricity or covering the fire with a non-combustible material. Smothering refers to covering the fire with a blanket, sand, or foam to deprive it of oxygen. Using any of these methods can successfully extinguish a fire.

    In case of fire we should rescue:

    • All patients

    • All staff

    • Those at immediate danger

    • All visitors & contractors

    Correct Answer
    A. Those at immediate danger
    Explanation
    In case of a fire, it is important to prioritize the safety of those who are at immediate danger. This means that individuals who are directly in harm's way should be rescued first. This may include individuals who are trapped or unable to escape on their own. By focusing on rescuing those at immediate danger, it ensures that lives are saved and that the most vulnerable individuals are prioritized in emergency situations.

  • 5. 

    When a fire breaks out, evacuate first the:

    • Non-Ambulant Patients

    • Semi-Ambulant Patients

    • Ambulant Patients

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Ambulant Patients
    Explanation
    In the event of a fire, it is important to prioritize the safety of individuals who are able to walk and move without assistance, which includes ambulant patients. These individuals have a higher chance of escaping the danger zone on their own and can evacuate more quickly compared to non-ambulant and semi-ambulant patients who may require assistance or have mobility limitations. Therefore, it is crucial to evacuate ambulant patients first to ensure their safety and allow for a more efficient evacuation process.

    When extinguishing a fire, you should maintain an away distance of:

    • 6 meters

    • 3 meters

    • 5 meters

    • 10 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 meters
    Explanation
    When extinguishing a fire, it is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 3 meters. This is because fires can be unpredictable and dangerous, with the potential for explosions or the release of toxic gases. By keeping a safe distance, firefighters can reduce the risk of injury or harm from heat, flames, or falling debris. It also allows them to have a better view of the fire and assess the situation more effectively.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When extinguishing a fire, you should:

    • Turn your back always to the north

    • Turn your back to the fire exit (outward)

    • Turn your face to the fire exit (inward)

    • Turn you face always to the south

    Correct Answer
    A. Turn your back to the fire exit (outward)
    Explanation
    When extinguishing a fire, it is important to turn your back to the fire exit (outward). This is because you want to position yourself in a way that allows for a quick and safe escape in case the fire becomes uncontrollable or dangerous. By facing the fire exit, you can easily see and navigate towards it when needed. Turning your back to the north or always facing the south are not relevant or effective strategies for extinguishing a fire or ensuring a safe exit.

    • RACE

    • PASS & RACE

    • PASS

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. PASS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "PASS". PASS is an acronym that stands for Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side. This acronym provides a simple and effective method for using a fire extinguisher. By pulling the pin, aiming at the base of the fire, squeezing the handle to release the extinguishing agent, and sweeping the nozzle from side to side, individuals can effectively extinguish a fire.

    Explanation
    The "Alert" step in RACE refers to the actions that need to be taken in case of an emergency. Calling Code Red, breaking the alarm glass, and dialing **22 are all possible ways to alert others about the emergency. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

    The available fire extinguisher can only be used for a duration of:

    • 30 - 40 seconds

    • 3 - 4 minutes

    • 15 - 20 seconds

    • 1 - 2 hours

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 - 40 seconds
    Explanation
    The available fire extinguisher can only be used for a duration of 30 - 40 seconds. This suggests that the fire extinguisher has a limited amount of extinguishing agent or propellant, which can only be discharged for a short period of time. It is important to use the extinguisher efficiently and effectively within this time frame to suppress the fire before it spreads further.

    In the case of electrical fire which fire extinguisher should be applied?

    • Dry Powder

    • CO2

    • CO2 & dry powder

    • Water

    Correct Answer
    A. CO2 & dry powder
    Explanation
    In the case of an electrical fire, both CO2 and dry powder fire extinguishers should be applied. CO2 extinguishers are effective for electrical fires because they do not conduct electricity and can smother the flames by displacing oxygen. Dry powder extinguishers, on the other hand, are also suitable for electrical fires as they create a barrier between the fuel and oxygen, effectively extinguishing the fire. By using both CO2 and dry powder extinguishers, the fire can be effectively controlled and extinguished.

    The firefighting water sprinklers cover a distance of:

    • 20 meters

    • 5 meters

    • 10 meters

    • 3 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 meters
    Explanation
    The firefighting water sprinklers cover a distance of 3 meters. This means that when the sprinklers are activated, they can spray water up to a distance of 3 meters. This is important in firefighting situations as it helps to extinguish fires and prevent them from spreading further. The 3-meter coverage ensures that a significant area is covered by the water spray, increasing the chances of effectively controlling the fire.

  • 13. 

    The Fire Emergency phone number in LH:

    • **22

    • **33

    • *333

    • *222

    Correct Answer
    A. **22
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 22 because it is the only option that is not preceded by an asterisk. The asterisk is usually used to indicate special or emergency numbers, so the numbers with asterisks are likely not the correct fire emergency phone number. Therefore, the only remaining option is 22.
