Asecure power to the cable
Bcut the cable with an insulated cable cutter
Cseparate the two ends
Dall of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. In the event of a fire in an electric cable where the inner layers of insulation or insulation covered by armor is burning, the proper response is to secure power to the cable, cut the cable with an insulated cable cutter, and separate the two ends. This is the recommended course of action to safely extinguish the fire and prevent further damage or injury. Securing power to the cable removes the source of electricity, cutting the cable with an insulated tool isolates the affected section, and separating the ends stops the spread of the fire. Addressing all three steps is necessary to safely and effectively respond to this type of cable fire incident.
