Which sequence correctly describes the general fire drill steps?

• A. Inform - Identify - Prepare - Attack - Control
• B. Identify - Inform - Prepare - Attack - Control
• C. Prepare - Inform - Identify - Attack - Control
• D. Inform - Prepare - Identify - Attack - Control

Answer: (A)

Informing first ensures the right people are alerted and the response is coordinated. Identifying the fire’s location and scope quickly guides the appropriate action and avoids wasted effort. Preparation then follows so the crew can ready the correct equipment, secure areas, and assign roles before any suppression begins. Attacking the fire comes after informing, identifying, and preparing, ensuring suppression is applied safely and effectively. Finally, control focuses on containing the fire, maintaining safe conditions, and coordinating with authorities and passengers until the situation is secure.
