  1. A stored-pressure fire extinguisher has a gauge reading in the green zone but the hose is cracked. What should the fireguard do?

    Answer: Tag it out of service and report it for repair

    A cracked hose is a defect that renders the extinguisher unserviceable; it must be removed from service and repaired by a certified technician.

  2. Which type of fire would a Class D extinguisher be used to fight?

    Answer: Combustible metal fires such as magnesium or titanium

    Class D extinguishers contain dry powder agents specifically formulated for fires involving combustible metals like magnesium, sodium, or titanium.

  3. If a CO2 extinguisher is used in a small, enclosed space, what hazard must be considered?

    Answer: The displaced oxygen can create an asphyxiation hazard for occupants

    CO2 displaces oxygen, which can reduce oxygen levels in enclosed spaces to dangerous concentrations and cause asphyxiation.

  4. During a fire extinguisher monthly visual inspection, a fireguard notices the pull pin is missing. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Remove the extinguisher from service and replace it immediately

    A missing pull pin means the extinguisher's safety mechanism is absent and it must be removed from service and replaced until properly repaired.

  5. What is the effect of discharging a dry chemical extinguisher upwind of a fire?

    Answer: The agent is blown away from the fire, reducing its effectiveness

    Discharging upwind causes the agent to blow away from the fire, making suppression much less effective or impossible.

  6. Under NFPA 10, what is the maximum travel distance to a Class B fire extinguisher in most occupancies?

    Answer: 50 feet

    NFPA 10 requires that Class B extinguishers be placed so occupants travel no more than 50 feet to reach one in most hazard areas.

  7. After successfully extinguishing a fire, what should a fireguard do to prevent re-ignition?

    Answer: Continue monitoring the area and watch for re-ignition or hot spots

    After extinguishment, a fireguard must remain vigilant for re-ignition, as smoldering material can reignite if not fully cooled or saturated.
