Zorluk: KolayFires and Fire Extinguisher Use

Commercial drivers must recognize and execute specific emergency procedures depending on the source of a vehicle fire. Match each commercial vehicle fire scenario on the left with its correct initial response procedure on the right.

  • Engine compartment fireKeep the hood closed and aim a dry chemical extinguisher through the grille or louvers.
  • Burning dual tireCool extensively with water and isolate or remove the wheel assembly if safe.
  • Electrical cab system fireCut the electrical supply by turning off the ignition or master switch, and use a dry chemical extinguisher without water.
  • Spilled fuel fire on the roadwaySweep a B:C dry chemical extinguisher across the base of the flames, avoiding water to prevent spreading.

Cevap

Engine compartment fire matches keeping the hood closed and spraying through louvers; Burning dual tire matches cooling with water and isolating the tire; Electrical cab system fire matches turning off the power switch and using dry chemical without water; Spilled fuel fire matches sweeping a B:C extinguisher at the base of the fire.
Each fire source requires a specific countermeasure: engine fires require containment without opening the hood; tire fires require cooling with water; electrical fires require de-energizing the circuit and using non-conductive agents; and liquid fuel fires require dry chemical extinguishing at the base of the fire.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the fire containment principle for under-hood fires.
Engine fires must be fought without opening the hood to prevent introducing fresh oxygen.
Opening the hood allows sudden airflow that rapidly accelerates flame propagation.
2
Determine the proper cooling and extinguishing agent for tire fires.
Tire fires are combustible solid fires (Class A) that need cooling with water or removal to stop re-ignition.
Trapped internal heat in tire rubber will reignite unless doused thoroughly with water.
3
Determine the primary hazard isolation and agent for electrical fires.
Electrical cab fires require cutting the electrical source and using dry chemical agents.
Water conducts electricity, creating electrocution risks and worsening short circuits.
4
Select the correct technique and extinguisher rating for flammable liquid spills.
Spilled fuel fires require a Class B rated dry chemical agent swept at the base.
Water spreads flammable petroleum liquids rather than extinguishing them.
