At the center
- B.
At the base
- C.
At the top
- D.
At the side
Correct Answer
B. At the baseExplanation
To extinguish a fire, it is important to aim at the base. This is because the base of the fire is where the fuel source is located. By aiming at the base, you can cut off the fire's oxygen supply and prevent it from spreading further. Aiming at the center, top, or side may not be effective as it does not directly target the fuel source.Rate this question:

Does a fireguard approach a fire from a downwind direction?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
A fireguard does not approach a fire from a downwind direction because doing so would put them at risk of being engulfed by the flames and smoke. Approaching a fire from the downwind side would expose them to the full force of the fire and make it difficult to control or extinguish the fire effectively. Therefore, it is safer for a fireguard to approach a fire from an upwind direction, where the wind is blowing away from the fire, reducing the risk of being caught in the fire's path.Rate this question:
