Maine Security Officer Practice Exam

Entering an unknown area to fight a fire with an extinguisher is not a basic fire safety tip for security personnel. This action can be extremely dangerous as the personnel may not be fully aware of the situation's risks, such as the fire's size, its fuel source, or potential structural instability due to the fire. Also, professional firefighters, not security personnel, should deal with significant fires. Security personnel's role in a fire emergency is mainly to ensure the safe evacuation of people, use fire extinguishers to combat small, manageable fires, and communicate effectively with professional fire fighting services.
