Question 7Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhen approaching a fire from windward, you should shield firefighters from the fire by using an applicator and _______________.
Afoam spray
Blow-velocity fog
Ca straight stream of water
Dhigh-velocity fog
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) low-velocity fog. When approaching a fire from the windward side, firefighters should use a low-velocity fog pattern to shield themselves from the intense heat of the fire. The low-velocity fog helps to absorb and dissipate the heat, protecting the firefighters, whereas a straight stream of water (option C) or high-velocity fog (option D) could actually push the fire towards the firefighters. Foam spray (option A) is typically used for flammable liquid fires, not for general structural firefighting from the windward side.
