Which statement concerning the application of dry chemical powder is FALSE?
AI Explanation
You are correct, the statement that is false is A) At temperatures of less than 32°F, the extinguisher must be recharged more often.
The reasoning is that dry chemical powder extinguishers are not affected by cold temperatures. The powder itself does not change consistency or effectiveness at low temperatures. The extinguisher does not need to be recharged more often in cold weather conditions.
The other options are correct statements about the proper use of dry chemical powder extinguishers. The stream should be directed at the base of the fire to smother the flames, directing it into burning liquid can cause splashing, and attacking the fire from the windward side is recommended when possible.
