What approach should be taken during a small fire if properly trained?

Attempting to fight the fire using the correct extinguisher is the appropriate approach if you are properly trained. This action is suitable in situations where the fire is small, and there is a clear and safe path for evacuation if the situation worsens. Proper training means you would understand how to identify the type of fire and the correct extinguisher to use.

Using the correct extinguisher can effectively suppress the fire before it escalates, providing a chance to control the situation quickly. It's essential, however, to constantly assess the fire's behavior and your ability to manage it. In any scenario involving a fire, personal safety is paramount, and if the fire becomes unmanageable, the trained individual must leave the area and call for professional help immediately.

The other options suggest either a passive approach or actions that could lead to increased danger. Calling emergency services is important, but it is not the only step in a minor fire scenario if you are equipped to handle it. Leaving without trying to extinguish the fire doesn't utilize the training received and could allow the fire to grow. Gathering coworkers for discussion in the midst of a fire would be unproductive and could lead to chaos and increased risk.
