Question 1 of 27070

Fighting a fire in the galley poses which additional threat?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Galley fires and how they typically start (cooking oil, grease, appliances) • Role of ventilation and exhaust ducts in spreading fire and smoke • What kinds of secondary hazards are unique to cooking spaces compared with other spaces

💭 Think About

• Think about what is commonly found above and around stoves and fryers, and how fire can travel from there. • Which option describes a path where a small localized fire can quickly become a hidden, spreading fire? • Which choices are general fire concerns, and which one is especially characteristic of galley fires on vessels?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice involves grease or cooking by-products, common in galleys. • Consider how the ventilation/exhaust system could help spread flames rather than remove them. • Eliminate options that could apply to almost any compartment fire, not just a galley fire.
