Question 8

Fires can be prevented by increasing fire-loading.

Accepted Answer

Fires can be prevented by reducing fire-loading, not by increasing it. Fire-loading refers to the amount of combustible material present in a given area or structure. By reducing the amount of combustible materials, such as by storing flammable liquids properly or clearing dry vegetation, the risk of a fire starting and spreading can be decreased. Fires are more likely to occur when there is a higher fire-loading, which refers to the amount of fuel (such as vegetation, paper, or wood) that is available to burn. Increasing fire-loading would actually increase the likelihood of a fire, not prevent it. Preventing fires involves reducing potential fuel sources, practicing safe fire use practices, and being vigilant in monitoring for potential fire hazards.
