Q

Flames from small leaks of LFG may be extinguished by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• LPG/LFG fire behavior – why extinguishing a gas leak flame can sometimes be more dangerous than the flame itself • Types of portable extinguishers – which agents are appropriate for flammable gas fires (Class B) • Risk of re‑ignition and gas accumulation when dealing with small leaks

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: for a small leak of a flammable gas, is it usually safer to remove the flame or to remove the gas source? • Which extinguisher agents are specifically recommended for flammable liquid and gas fires, and which types are not ideal? • What could happen if you blow out a small gas flame but the leak continues in an enclosed or semi‑enclosed space?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which extinguisher types are approved for Class B (flammable liquid/gas) fires in your study materials • Check whether soda‑acid extinguishers are recommended for gas fires or mostly for other classes (like ordinary combustibles) • Consider the safety implications of allowing a controlled flame vs. an unignited gas leak before choosing your answer
