What is the most important step to take after a fire has been extinguished?

Correct Answer: Option C — Overhaul the burned area and maintain a watch to prevent re-flash/rekindling

Overhauling is critical to ensure all smoldering embers are extinguished. Failure to thoroughly break apart debris and cool the area can lead to rekindling, as heat remains trapped within the material. Maintaining a fire watch is a mandatory safety procedure to monitor for re-ignition after the primary fire is suppressed.
