🔍 Key Concepts

• Overhauling a fire – what firefighters do after the main flames are knocked down • How fires can hide in voids, insulation, and behind bulkheads • Why it’s dangerous to assume a space is safe too soon on a vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: After the visible flames are out, what is the biggest remaining danger inside living quarters? • Which option focuses on making sure the fire is completely out versus just reacting in panic or assuming everything is safe? • On a ship, where can a fire continue to smolder even when you don’t see open flames?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice deals with checking for hidden or residual fire, not starting new systems or abandoning the ship without cause • Eliminate any option that suggests no further action after a fire event in living quarters • Consider that proper overhaul involves exposing hidden areas where heat or embers might remain.
