Explanation
This question belongs to a basic fire safety knowledge which falls under the general safety or awareness category, thereby it could potentially fall under a generic "Others" category.It presents four different strategies and asks which two resulting in prevention of fires. The correct choices should be those that directly stop or restrict fire from beginning 1. "Ensuring that fire doors are not propped open." - Fire doors are specially designed to resist fire spread. If they are propped open, a fire can spread quickly. Hence this belongs to preventive measures.2. "Storing flammable substances in open bottles to allow them to breathe." - Flammable substances can catch fire easily. Exposing them in open jars or spaces might do the exact opposite and cause a fire instead due limiting the chances of combustion.3. "Waiting until the end of shift to report faulty electrical equipment." - This could potentially cause delays and lead to a fire outbreak, faulty electrical equipment are know to cause fire if left unattended.4. "Ensuring that all employees regularly receive fire training." - Regular fire-training will cook the employees to handle emergency situations and follow proper measures so as to prevent fires. This rightfully falls under categorizing preventive measures.
