Question 912 Deck Safety
70% to passOne advantage of the "all-purpose nozzle" is that it _______________.
The correct answer is C) converts a stream of water into a fog. The all-purpose nozzle is designed to convert a solid stream of water into a fine, fog-like mist. This allows the water to be more effectively dispersed and reach a larger area, increasing the amount of water reaching the fire. The fog-like mist also helps to cool the surrounding area and reduce the risk of re-ignition. The other options are incorrect because: A) the all-purpose nozzle cannot spray two streams simultaneously, B) it is not designed to fit any size hose, and D) while it does increase the amount of water reaching the fire, this is achieved through the conversion to a fog-like mist, not by increasing the overall water flow.
