In the standard fire drill sequence, what is the final step?

• A. Announce to cockpit.
• B. Evacuate if necessary.
• C. Apply extinguisher.
• D. Debrief.

Answer: (D)

Final step is the debrief. After you’ve carried out the response actions—alerting the cockpit, deciding on evacuation if needed, and using the extinguisher when safe—the crew come together to review what happened. The debrief captures what went well, what could be improved, and any equipment or procedural issues, so lessons learned can be documented and used to update training and procedures. The other steps belong to the active response phase during the incident, while debriefing wraps it up and closes the loop for future readiness.
