Who obtains a Halon and fights a fire in the OFAR?

• A. Firefighter
• B. Crew member
• C. FA 3
• D. Captain

Answer: (A)

In OFAR, a designated crew member is trained to be the firefighter, whose specific responsibility is to locate and retrieve a Halon extinguisher and use it to combat the fire. This role is taught as the primary action for small onboard fires, with the firefighter taking the lead in applying the extinguishing agent and controlling the fire while others assist and the captain coordinates overall safety and evacuation if needed. While any crew member may help, the Halon and fire suppression are assigned to the firefighter, making it the best answer.
