🔍 Key Concepts

• Firefighting sequence and priorities: contain, isolate, then extinguish • Ventilation and boundary cooling in compartment fires • Electrical safety and shock hazard when water is used near powered equipment

💭 Think About

• After you stop the ventilation, what remaining hazards in a laundry room could endanger the firefighters as soon as they bring hoses or extinguishers into the space? • If you are about to apply water or foam in an area with many electrical appliances, what must be done first to protect the team? • Which option specifically removes a hidden danger that might not be obvious just from looking at the fire itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what kind of equipment is normally found in a ship’s laundry (think: heaters, motors, controls, panels). • Decide which option deals with making the space safe to enter rather than just adding more firefighting equipment. • Verify which step is normally required by shipboard safety procedures before starting to apply water inside an enclosed machinery/equipment space.
