Question 37Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) Break out the nearest fire hose. This is the lowest priority action because the initial response should focus on containing the fire, isolating the source, and calling for professional assistance. Breaking out the fire hose should be one of the last steps, as it requires more time and effort compared to the other options. The priority actions are to close the door to the room (A), locate and use a portable extinguisher (B), and secure power to the appliances (C) to stop the source of the fire. Deploying the fire hose should only be considered if the fire is beyond the capability of a portable extinguisher, which is not the initial indication provided in the scenario.
