AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. The fire hose should be fully charged before deploying the hose from the hydrant. Partially charging the hose before deployment is incorrect because it can lead to a dangerous situation. The hose should be fully charged to the desired pressure before being pulled out from the hydrant. This ensures that the hose is ready to deliver the required water flow and pressure to the nozzle, allowing for effective firefighting operations. The other answer choices are correct procedures for handling a fire hose.
