Question 582 Deck Safety
70% to passWhen approaching a fire from windward, you should shield firefighters from the fire by using _______________.
A
low-velocity fog
B
high-velocity fog
C
foam spray
D
a straight stream of water
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) low-velocity fog. When approaching a fire from the windward side, using a low-velocity fog pattern provides the best protection for firefighters. The low-velocity fog helps shield the firefighters from the heat and flames of the fire, allowing them to get closer and more effectively attack the blaze. In contrast, high-velocity fog (option B), foam spray (option C), and a straight stream of water (option D) would not provide the same level of protection from the fire's heat and intensity when approaching from the windward side.
