Question 912 Deck Safety

70% to pass

One advantage of the "all-purpose nozzle" is that it _______________.

A can spray two streams of water at the same time
B can fit any size hose
C converts a stream of water into a fog
D increases the amount of water reaching the fire
AI Explanation

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.
