What item is listed as the tool to grab after moving passengers in the laptop-fire sequence?

• A. Use Halon
• B. Put it into containment bag
• C. Grab PBE
• D. Notify the captain

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is prioritizing crew safety and the ability to continue handling the incident in a smoky cabin. After passengers have been moved to a safe area, grabbing the Protective Breathing Equipment is the best next step because it provides clean air in the engine/seat area where the laptop fire is located. With the PBE, you can approach the source, assess the situation, and decide on further action without being overwhelmed by smoke or fumes.

The other actions are important in different parts of the response but aren’t the immediate tool to grab at this stage. Deploying Halon is a fire-suppression action that would come into play if you’re actively extinguishing and in a position to use it; putting the device into a containment bag is a later step focused on isolating the device after cooling or extinguishing; notifying the captain is essential for coordination but is not the physical tool you would grab first in this sequence.
