Question 872 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Cools fire and adjacent surfaces, provides protective barrier. Water fog is effective for fighting fires because it cools the fire and adjacent surfaces, providing a protective barrier. The fine water mist helps absorb heat from the fire, reducing the intensity and slowing the spread. Additionally, the water vapor creates a barrier that can protect firefighters and prevent the fire from reaching unaffected areas. The other options are not as accurate. While option A describes some benefits of water fog, it does not capture the key reasons of cooling and providing a protective barrier. Options B and C are not accurate descriptions of how water fog works to extinguish fires.
