🔍 Key Concepts

• Galley fire hazards and how range hoods/ducts are constructed and used on vessels • Behavior of grease and vapor deposits inside ducts and filters over time • Which hazards are considered primary/major versus secondary (injury, obstruction, etc.) in fire-safety questions

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Over the life of a vessel, what actually builds up inside galley hood systems, and how does that affect fire risk? • Think about which option describes a condition that both happens frequently in real galleys and is especially hard for firefighters to deal with. • Consider whether each choice describes a long-term fire hazard, a minor ergonomic issue, or something that could be corrected easily by design.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, decide if it is describing a fire behavior/propagation issue or just a comfort/ergonomic/secondary issue. • Consider which choice involves a material that, once ignited, can continue to burn inside confined spaces and is hard to reach with standard extinguishers. • Ask: Which of these hazards would marine safety inspectors and fire codes most strongly emphasize as the primary concern with galley hoods?
