Question 1341 Deck General

The correct answer is C) letting it burn itself out. Flames from small leaks of liquefied flammable gas (LFG) should be allowed to burn themselves out rather than attempting to extinguish them. Extinguishing the flames can lead to the accumulation of unburned gas, which increases the risk of a larger explosion. Soda and acid fire extinguishers (A) and carbon dioxide or dry chemical fire extinguishers (B) are not recommended, as they may not effectively stop the gas leak and could potentially worsen the situation. Blowing out the flames (D) is also not recommended, as it can spread the unburned gas and increase the risk of reignition.
