Ryanair Initial Practice Exam

What should the firefighter do regarding any debris after the fire is reported to the captain?

1. Leave it in the area for evidence

2. Put it into the bar box and dampen down with water

3. Dispose of it immediately

4. Return it to the passengers

The correct answer is: Put it into the bar box and dampen down with water

The appropriate action for a firefighter regarding debris after a fire has been reported is to place it into the bar box and dampen it down with water. This procedure is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, securing the debris in a controlled manner helps preserve evidence for any investigations that might follow the incident. By dampening the debris, the firefighter reduces the risk of reignition, thereby enhancing safety during the firefighting and investigation processes. It prevents the potential for the debris to become a secondary source of fire or pose risks to those investigating the incident. It’s also important to note that simply leaving debris in the area can compromise the evidence and interfere with any ongoing safety measures or investigations. Disposing of it immediately would eliminate valuable evidence that could provide insights into the cause of the fire. Returning it to passengers is not an option as it poses a risk to safety and is not appropriate under the circumstances.
