Questions
What should you do if you find a fire door wedged open?
Fire doors help slow smoke and fire spread. They should not be wedged open.

When is it appropriate to use an extinguisher?
Extinguishers are only for suitable small fires when the user is trained and safe.
What is the fire warden’s main priority?
The role is focused on prevention, safe evacuation and reporting, not personal risk-taking.
