Question 341Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) Heat detector. On a fire control plan, the heat detector is the emergency equipment typically located in the scullery, which is an area with increased fire risk due to the presence of cooking equipment and flammable materials. Heat detectors are designed to sense a rise in temperature and trigger an alarm, alerting the crew to a potential fire in the scullery. This allows for a rapid response to contain and extinguish the fire before it can spread. The other options are incorrect because: A) a fixed water extinguishing system would not be located in the scullery specifically, B) a fire alarm pull-box is a manual device typically located near exits, and C) a Gaylord system release valve is associated with the ventilation system, not the scullery.
