Question 906 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are operating a fire hose with an applicator attached. If you put the handle of the nozzle in the vertical position you will _______________.
A
produce high-velocity fog
B
shut off the water
C
produce a straight stream
D
produce low-velocity fog
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) produce low-velocity fog. When the handle of the nozzle is placed in the vertical position, it opens the nozzle to produce a low-velocity fog pattern. This is a common technique used to effectively extinguish fires by creating a fine mist that absorbs heat and provides better coverage compared to a straight stream. The other options are incorrect: A) would produce a high-velocity stream, not a fog pattern. B) would shut off the water completely, not produce a fog. C) would produce a straight, high-velocity stream, not a low-velocity fog.
