Which technique is generally advisable for directing extinguishing agent at a fire?
When directing an extinguishing agent at a fire, it is generally advisable to use a sweeping motion. This technique allows the agent to cover a wider area, effectively cooling the fire and preventing it from spreading. Additionally, aiming at the base of the fire targets the fuel source directly, which is crucial for extinguishing the flames efficiently. Always maintain a safe distance and ensure proper safety gear is worn during the process.

What component of the automatic fire extinguishing system detects smoke or heat?
In an automatic fire extinguishing system, the smoke or heat is typically detected by smoke detectors or heat detectors.

These devices send signals to the control system, which activates the extinguishing mechanism when a fire is detected. Together, they play a crucial role in early fire detection and response.

Is a fire extinguisher hydraulic or pneumatic?
A fire extinguisher is primarily considered pneumatic, as it uses compressed gas to propel the extinguishing agent out of the nozzle. The pressure inside the extinguisher is created by gas, which can be either stored under pressure or generated through a chemical reaction. While hydraulic systems also use fluids under pressure, fire extinguishers do not rely on liquid pressure to discharge the extinguishing agent.
