Q

A fire can be extinguished by removing __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) • How fixed fire-extinguishing systems (like CO2) work • What happens to a fire if one element is taken away

💭 Think About

• Think about what ALL fires must have in order to keep burning. • If you use water, foam, CO2, or smothering blankets, which part of the fire triangle is each method removing or reducing? • Ask yourself: is it possible to stop a fire by taking away just one of these elements?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the three parts of the fire triangle. • Consider whether different extinguishing methods target different elements, or always the same one. • Check if the question is asking for ONE specific element or if MORE THAN ONE choice could logically stop the fire.
