Question 902 Deck Safety
70% to passUnder normal firefighting conditions, approximately how far could a straight stream of water reach when the hose pressure is 100 PSI?
A
50 feet
B
100 feet
C
150 feet
D
200 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 100 feet. Under normal firefighting conditions, with a hose pressure of 100 PSI, a straight stream of water can reach approximately 100 feet. This is based on the standard performance characteristics of fire hoses and nozzles, which are designed to project water effectively over this distance for most firefighting applications. The other answer choices are incorrect because 50 feet (A) would be too short for a 100 PSI hose, and 150 feet (C) and 200 feet (D) would be beyond the typical reach of a standard fire hose operating at 100 PSI.
