What are the steps for removing the PBE?

The correct procedure for removing the Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) involves moving away from the source of fire and grasping the hood to pull it forward. This ensures the safety of the user by providing a clear and unobstructed path, reducing the risk of inhaling smoke or harmful gases during the removal process. By emphasizing caution and the need to distance oneself from danger, the process highlights the importance of safety in emergency situations.

The other options suggest methods that could potentially compromise safety or are impractical. For instance, simply grasping the base and pulling upward does not account for situational hazards, while disassembling PBE while in use would likely lead to exposure to harmful elements. Additionally, putting the PBE back in the charging station does not follow the procedure for safe removal and is out of context for this scenario.
