If you must swim through an oil fire, which action should be avoided?
• Personal survival techniques in burning oil on the water • Effect of wind direction on flames and smoke spread • Recommended body position and protection when entering burning or potentially burning water
• Think about which option would most likely increase your exposure to flames, heat, or burning oil on the surface • Consider how wind affects the direction of fire and smoke on the water and whether you want to go with it or against it • Ask yourself which actions are meant to protect your body and face when entering the water and moving through it
• Which choice would reduce your protection from heat and burning fuel? • Which options are typically taught as protective measures in basic sea survival training? • Which option might carry you toward thicker smoke and flame instead of away from it?
