Question 566 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Solid stream water nozzle. When fighting an oil or gasoline fire in the bilge, a solid stream water nozzle should not be used. This is because a solid stream of water can spread the burning liquid, causing the fire to spread rather than extinguish it. Instead, options like A) all-purpose nozzle, B) carbon dioxide, or C) foam should be used, as they are more effective at smothering and extinguishing this type of fire without spreading the burning liquid.
