What items are required as safety equipment?

• A. Fire extinguisher with a current label, first aid supplies, seat belts, tires, and brakes.
• B. Fire extinguisher only.
• C. First aid supplies and seat belts only.
• D. Seat belts and brakes only.

Answer: (A)

Safety readiness for agency vehicles means having items that protect people in emergencies and keep the vehicle controllable. A working fire extinguisher, with a current label showing it’s up to date, is essential because fires can start unexpectedly and you need a usable extinguisher. First aid supplies are necessary to treat injuries on the spot before help arrives. Seat belts provide basic occupant protection. Tires and brakes are critical for safe operation—tires ensure traction and stability, while brakes allow you to stop safely. Because this option lists all of these crucial items, it is the most complete and correct. The other choices omit one or more of these essential safety elements.
