What is not a safe action to take during a fire emergency?

Sound the alarm
Maintain a clear exit path
Store flammable materials near exits
Follow emergency procedures

The correct answer is: Store flammable materials near exits

Storing flammable materials near exits is not a safe action during a fire emergency because it significantly increases the risk of fire spreading and presents a severe hazard to individuals trying to evacuate. In the event of a fire, exits should be kept clear to ensure everyone can exit the building as quickly and safely as possible. Keeping flammable materials in proximity to exits can block pathways and create additional fire hazards, making it more difficult for individuals to escape and increasing the likelihood of injury. On the other hand, actions such as sounding the alarm, maintaining a clear exit path, and following emergency procedures are essential for ensuring safety during a fire emergency. Sounding the alarm alerts everyone to evacuate, maintaining clear exit paths helps facilitate a swift evacuation, and following established emergency procedures ensures that everyone knows the safest and most effective way to respond to a fire threat.
