You are part of a crew responding to a minor kitchen fire in a high-rise apartment. After the fire is extinguished, a resident approaches you and angrily complains that their apartment, which is unaffected by the fire, now has a strong smell of smoke. They demand to know what you are going to do about it. What is the most appropriate response?
-
A
Tell the resident that a little smoke smell is better than the building burning down and that it will air out eventually.
-
B
Politely and calmly explain that smoke travels and recommend they open their windows to ventilate the apartment. Provide them with the non-emergency number for the fire department if they have further concerns.
-
C
Ignore the resident's complaint as your primary job was to extinguish the fire and ensure everyone is safe.
-
D
Apologize profusely and immediately assign a firefighter to help them air out their apartment, even though the emergency is over.
