Question 249Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is A) Foam. Foam fire extinguishers are the most prone to freezing when stowed in low temperatures. This is because the foam agent used in these extinguishers is water-based, and water can freeze at low temperatures. In contrast, carbon dioxide (CO2), halon 1211, and dry chemical extinguishers use agents that are less susceptible to freezing, making them more suitable for use in cold environments. The other answer choices are incorrect because CO2, halon 1211, and dry chemical extinguishers are less affected by low temperatures and are generally preferred for use in cold climates or areas where the extinguisher may be exposed to freezing conditions.
