TRUE LIES: There are many misconceptions regarding fire. A person must equip himself with factualinformation to guarantee safety. Not all shared information is true. So, can you spot them?Direction: Below are statements about basic information on fire. On your answer sheet, write TRUE if thestatement expresses a correct idea, otherwise write LIE.4. Fire is a thing, not an event.5. Assuming stable fuel, heat, and oxygen levels, a typical house fire is constant in size every minute until the firedies down.6. Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn.7. Water can be produced by fire.8. Using concentrated sunlight, ancient Greeks were able to start fire. A parabolic mirror that focuses solar rays isstill used to ignite the Olympic torch.9. Among the stages of fire, the last stage which is the “decay stage” takes the longest time to finish.10.All fire extinguishers are multipurpose, meaning each one can put out all types of fire caused by any material.NOTE: JUST THE ANSWER ONLY NO…
