🔍 Key Concepts

• fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) and which leg you are controlling • effects of flooding or adding water in a low compartment on a ship’s stability and trim • purpose and effect of ventilation control in an enclosed machinery space

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: does this mainly attack heat, fuel, or oxygen, and how? • Which action would add weight low in the ship or shift liquids, and what would that do to stability? • Which option could control the fire while leaving the vessel’s draft, trim, and list mostly unchanged?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options would introduce additional water into the hull and consider the effect on GM and free surface • Check which action would directly reduce oxygen available to the fire in that specific space • Consider whether cooling outside bulkheads only is enough to control a fire inside an enclosed pumproom
