which of the following are fire prevention guidelines?

a. if you smoke, never drop used tobacco products on the ground.

b. never park your car near long, dry grass or debris.

c. learn and follow the local rules about open fires, camp stoves, kerosene lanterns, and other sources of fire.

d. only use matches to start fires.

e. leave burning embers to help start the next fire.

Explanation:

• Option A: Dropping used tobacco products (like cigarette butts) can ignite fires, so not dropping them is a fire prevention guideline.
• Option B: Parking near dry grass/debris can lead to fires if a car's hot parts (e.g., exhaust) ignite them, so avoiding this is preventive.
• Option C: Following local fire - related rules for open fires, stoves, etc., helps prevent uncontrolled fires.
• Option D: This is not a fire prevention guideline. Using only matches to start fires doesn't prevent fires; in fact, improper use of matches can cause fires. Also, there are other safe ways to start fires in appropriate contexts.
• Option E: Leaving burning embers can cause new fires to start, so this is not a fire prevention guideline.

Answer:

A. If you smoke, never drop used tobacco products on the ground.
B. Never park your car near long, dry grass or debris.
C. Learn and follow the local rules about open fires, camp stoves, kerosene lanterns, and other sources of fire.
