For which type of fire should you move passengers away as part of secondary actions?

Moving passengers away is particularly critical in the event of a fire inside the cabin during flight. This type of fire poses the most immediate and direct threat to the safety of passengers and crew, as it can quickly spread and create smoke and toxic fumes that can impair visibility and breathing.

In the case of a cabin fire, quick action is essential to minimize the exposure of passengers to harmful conditions and to maintain control of the situation. By moving passengers away from the area affected by the fire, crew members can help ensure their safety and facilitate communication and evacuation if necessary. The focus in this scenario is on protecting the passengers from danger and initiating firefighting measures and evacuation procedures as appropriate.

While fires outside the cabin, in the cargo hold, or electrical fires near the cockpit may have serious consequences, they do not typically necessitate moving passengers directly away as part of secondary actions in the same manner as a cabin fire does. Instead, those situations may require different protocols, such as notifying the flight crew, securing the area, or managing the fire from a safe distance.
