To extinguish a fire with a portable extinguisher, a person must:

A) Know how to actuate the unit
B) Know how to apply the agent effectively
C) Both choices are correct

Answer 1

C because if you dont know how to activate it then you cant start it and if you dont apply it effectively you wont be able to put the fire out.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

In order for someone to extinguish a fire with a portable extinguisher they would need to know how to actuate the unit, which means how to activate the unit, there are usually instructions on the extinguisher just in case, in addition they would need to know how to apply the agent effectively, which means how to use the extinguisher to put out the flames. Therefore both choices are correct.
