Question 1 of 27070

After extinguishing a paint locker fire using the fixed CO2 system, the next action is to have the space __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• fixed CO₂ fire-extinguishing systems behavior after discharge • danger of re-ignition (reflash) in enclosed spaces like paint lockers • standard re-entry and ventilation procedures after total flooding systems

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the fire and hot surfaces immediately after CO₂ has been released in a closed paint locker. Is everything instantly safe? • Which step must be completed before you open the space or add more air that could support combustion again? • Which option best prevents fresh oxygen from reaching hot surfaces or smoldering material too soon?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice maintains the integrity of the CO₂ concentration for a sufficient period? • Which option avoids introducing fresh air/oxygen into a space that may still be hot? • Which step would normally happen later, only after the space has cooled and is safe for entry?

After extinguishing a paint locker fire using the fixed CO2 system, the next action is to have the space __________.

checked for oxygen content

opened and burned material removed

remain closed with vents off until all boundaries are cool

doused with water to prevent reflash
