If a lavatory fire extinguishing bottle is discharged, which of the following happens?

• A. No alerts are provided
• B. Automatic fire warning to cockpit
• C. Multiple audible alarms
• D. Lavatory door locks

Answer: (A)

When the lavatory fire extinguishing bottle is discharged, its job is simply to release the extinguishing agent into the lavatory to suppress the fire. This action does not feed back into the cockpit warning system, so no new cockpit alerts are generated by the discharge itself. The warning would have already come from the lavatory fire detection system if a fire was present, and after discharge the system does not produce additional audible or visual alerts. The lavatory door locking is not tied to the bottle discharge, so the door state isn’t automatically changed by this action. In short, the discharge treats the fire locally; it does not trigger further cockpit alerts.
