🔍 Key Concepts

• Operation principles of CO₂ (carbon dioxide) fire extinguishers • Best technique for attacking a fire: where to aim and how to move the nozzle • Differences between fighting flame tops vs. the fuel source

💭 Think About

• When using an extinguisher, what part of the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) are you trying to interrupt most effectively? • If you want to prevent re‑ignition, should you focus on the visible flames or on what is burning? • Which type of motion with the nozzle helps cover the burning area evenly without blowing the fire around?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice focuses on the base of the fire rather than the flame tips or the air above. • Check which method gives broad, controlled coverage of the burning material instead of a narrow or vertical jet. • Eliminate any options that suggest hitting surfaces first or attacking only the upper flames.
