incipient fire
Explanation:
Options 2 through 4 deal with incipient fires. (An incipient fire is one that is in the initial stage and can be controlled or extinguished with portable fire extinguishers.)
http://www.toy-icti.org/resources/planning.htm

For these reasons, and others, the
need for incipient fire detection has
grown. Detecting a fire very early in its
growth allows on-site staff to investigate
and possibly extinguish the fire
prior to the need for any application of
a large scale suppression system such
as fire sprinklers or gaseous agents.
http://www.rjagroup.com/pdfs/articles/Aspirating_IFP22.pdf

The vehicle must be equipped with two efficient fire extinguishers, one of which is suitable for use on a fire in the motor, and the other of which is suitable for use on an incipient fire in the load.

Ein Ladungsbrand ist für Ersthelfer nicht beherrschbar!
