Within how many hours must any incident of fire or related injuries be reported?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 48 hours

  3. Immediately, without any specified time

  4. 72 hours

The correct answer is: 24 hours

Any incident of fire or related injuries must be reported within 24 hours. This time frame allows for prompt investigation and response to any potential safety hazards. Option B, 48 hours, is not correct because it allows for a longer delay in reporting, which could result in further damage or injuries. Option C, reporting immediately without any specified time, is also incorrect as it is important to have a specific time frame for reporting to ensure timely action. Option D, 72 hours, is also not the correct answer as it allows for an even longer delay in reporting, which could be detrimental in emergency situations. Reporting within 24 hours strikes a balance between prompt reporting and giving enough time to gather necessary information and assess the situation before reporting.
