Case Study 3-4: Trash Bin Fire Just as a phlebotomist arrives at work and comes through the door, the fire alarm sounds, the fire sprinkler system in the hallway activates, and the door down the hall automatically shuts. There is a trash bin near the door with heavy smoke and flames coming from it. Since it is partially covered, the water has little effect on the fire. No one else is in sight. The phlebotomist runs to a fire extinguisher nearby, grabs it, pulls the pin, and puts the fire out. It does not appear to have spread beyond the trash bin. Just then the firemen arrive on the scene. QUESTIONS 1. What class of fire was most likely involved in this incident and why? 2. What type of extinguisher would be required to put it out? 3. The fire extinguisher in the hall was most likely what type? 4. What may have caused the fire? 5. What is the code word for action in the event of fire and what does it mean?
