You discover a small trash can fire, report it, and request to fight it. You are given permission. It is small enough to use a portable extinguisher, which type(s) should you use?

Correct Answer: Option D — Any of the above

A small trash fire is typically a Class A fire. Portable extinguishers using water, foam, or CO2 are all effective for small, incipient-stage fires. The choice depends on the specific contents of the trash, but all listed options are standard shipboard equipment capable of suppressing a fire of this size.
