Which item is included in the surveillance of high risk areas in the cabin to prevent fire hazards?

• A. Ensure no bags, paper, newspaper or combustible materials are deposited where they become a fire hazard
• B. Maintain surveillance of all floor areas
• C. Maintain surveillance of the seat rows and the lower side wall in pax cabin
• D. Maintain surveillance of the overhead bins

Answer: (A)

The key idea is proactive fire prevention by controlling what can fuel a fire in high‑risk cabin zones. Keeping bags, paper, newspapers, or any combustible materials out of areas that could encounter heat sources or electrical faults directly reduces the chances of ignition. Surveillance in this context isn’t just watching; it’s about removing potential fuel from hotspots so a fire cannot start. While monitoring floor areas, seat rows, lower side walls, or overhead bins can help you spot problems, they don’t reduce the fuel source the way removing combustibles does. So this option best reflects preventing fire hazards by eliminating ignition fuel in the cabin.
