Question 634 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) cool the bulkheads around the fire. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. To prevent the spread of fire by conduction, it is important to cool the bulkheads or surrounding structures around the fire. This will prevent the heat from being conducted through the bulkheads and spreading the fire to adjacent spaces. The other options are incorrect because shutting off power (A) may not directly address conductive heat transfer, removing combustibles (B) does not address the issue of conduction, and closing openings (D) does not specifically target the spread of fire by conduction.
