What is one of the steps to take while trying to extinguish a fire on board?

  1. Call for pizza

  2. Throw water on the engine

  3. Use a sweeping motion with the extinguisher

  4. Take pictures for social media

The correct answer is: Use a sweeping motion with the extinguisher

Using a sweeping motion with the extinguisher is one of the steps to take while trying to extinguish a fire on board. This is because the sweeping motion helps to evenly distribute the extinguishing agent and cover the fire with a blanket of foam or powder. Option A, calling for pizza, would not be an effective solution as it does not address the fire at all. Option B, throwing water on the engine, could be dangerous as different types of fires may require different types of extinguishing agents. Option D, taking pictures for social media, would waste valuable time that could be used to properly respond to the fire.
