What is the first step in putting out a fire in the hose?

  1. Use a fire extinguisher

  2. Turn off the oxygen supply

  3. Run for help

  4. Remove the hose

The correct answer is: Remove the hose

The first step in putting out a fire in a hose is removing the hose. While using a fire extinguisher may be effective, it is important to stop the flow of fuel to the fire first. Turning off the oxygen supply is also a helpful step, but removing the hose will immediately cut off the fire's source of fuel. Running for help may waste valuable time and can be dangerous if the fire spreads. Removing the hose is the most efficient and immediate action to take when extinguishing a fire.
