🔍 Key Concepts

• Class B (flammable liquid) fires and why solid streams are usually dangerous on them • How foam and other smothering agents work on burning oil • The difference between cooling people/equipment and extinguishing the fuel

💭 Think About

• Which option actually helps extinguish or control the burning OIL itself, rather than just protecting structures or personnel? • Would a solid water stream tend to spread burning oil or keep it in place? Think about what happens when water hits a pool of burning oil. • In practice, when fighting oil fires, when would you still see a solid stream of water used at all, if foam is the main extinguishing agent?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that would obviously spread burning oil across the deck or over the side. • Look for the option that works with proper oil-fire tactics (smothering/separating fuel from oxygen), not against them. • Make sure the use of water you choose is something that would be considered safe and standard practice on a tanker or vessel with fuel on deck.
