🔍 Key Concepts

• How different agents behave when they strike a burning liquid surface • Why agitation of a burning liquid can make the fire worse • Which agents are designed to form a blanket or smothering layer over the fuel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these agents works best when it forms a smooth, unbroken layer over the top of the burning fuel? • Which agent could lose effectiveness or even spread the fire if it is blasted directly into the burning liquid? • Which agents are gases or fine powders that do not need to ‘flow’ and settle gently on the liquid surface in the same way?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is specifically intended to blanket the fuel surface • Consider which agents are gaseous or dispersed and therefore less affected by how they strike the surface • Think about which agent’s instructions typically warn to apply indirectly to avoid splashing or agitation of burning liquid fuel
