70% to passFlames from small leaks of LFG may be extinguished by _______________.
A
blowing the flames out
B
utilizing carbon dioxide or dry chemical fire extinguishers
C
letting it burn itself out
D
utilizing soda and acid fire extinguishers
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) letting it burn itself out. Small leaks of liquefied flammable gas (LFG) should be allowed to burn themselves out rather than attempting to extinguish the flames. Extinguishing the flames on a small LFG leak could allow the unburned gas to accumulate, creating a risk of a larger explosion or fire. Letting the leak burn itself out is the safest approach, as it consumes the gas in a controlled manner. The other options, such as blowing out the flames or using fire extinguishers, are not recommended as they can be dangerous and increase the risk of a more serious incident.
