Which item is NOT part of the LISA fire assessment?

• A. Location of the fire or smoke
• B. Actions being taken
• C. Intensity of fire and colour of smoke
• D. Source and smell

Answer: (B)

LISA fire assessment relies on observable cues about the fire itself to gauge its nature and potential progression. You look at where the fire or smoke is, how severe it is (intensity) and the color of the smoke, and you also note the fire’s source and any smells that indicate what is burning. These details tell you how urgent the situation is and what kinds of risks you’re facing, without yet considering what your team is doing in response. Actions being taken is not a characteristic of the fire itself; it’s about what you or others are doing in response. That belongs to the management or action plan, not to the observational cues used in the LISA assessment. So the item that does not fit as part of LISA is the actions being taken.
