Okay, today we clearly have a teacher's pet. It is ADHD Me. She is the only one who will know these things.
5. The floor, you crawl.
8. The garage. If not garage, I'd guess the kitchen.
10. I think this varies by locale doesn't it?
1. Heat, O2, Fuel (something to burn)
2. Water (ordinary combustables)
3. C or D
4. The number of companies that are dispatched to the scene.
5. Closest to the floor. Crawl or slide on your stomach.
6. Dry Chemical.
7. I'm trying to remember. I THINK flash point is around 600 and ignition point is around 450. Not sure.
8. Furniture/sofas/bedding
9. The gas displaces the O2 and smothers the fire but there is a higher chance of re-ignition.
10. This varies from county to county. In our county the probies wear blue, firefighters wear yellow, leutinents and captains were red and chiefs and battalion Chiefs wear White. In a county just about an hour from here, it is completely different. Not very wise in my opinion as sometimes mutual aid is requested and there could be big confusion.
Extra Credit....Ben Franklin?? No idea where. New York maybe??
I think I read number 8 wrong. The part of the house that is most likely to have chemicals that are dangerous to breath is usually the basement. Attic and garage also. I think.

I sure am hoping for the extra 2 points for putting my name on my paper. I'm going to need them.

2. Water
3. B or C or both.
4. The level of danger or threat it poses.
5. Close to the floor.
