A fight a magnesium fire
B eliminate smoke from a compartment
C fight an electrical fire
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) eliminate smoke from a compartment. Water fog from an all-purpose nozzle is effective at eliminating smoke from a compartment, as the fine water mist can help to knock down and disperse the smoke particles. This makes it a useful tool for clearing visibility and improving conditions in an affected space. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Magnesium fires require a dry chemical extinguishing agent, not water; C) Electrical fires should be addressed with a non-conductive extinguishing agent like CO2, not water.
