Question 907 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) attach a low-velocity fog applicator with the nozzle shut down. When a firefighting situation calls for low-velocity fog, you would want to use a low-velocity fog applicator. This specialized nozzle attachment is designed to produce a wide, low-pressure fog pattern that is effective for certain types of fires. Shutting down the nozzle allows you to control the flow rate and produce the desired low-velocity fog pattern. The other options are incorrect because: A) reducing pump pressure would not create the low-velocity fog, B) an all-purpose nozzle would not produce the proper fog pattern, and D) fully opening the nozzle would result in a higher-velocity stream, not the low-velocity fog required.
