🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire tetrahedron – what a fire needs to keep burning (heat, fuel, oxygen, chemical reaction) • Effect of ventilation on oxygen supply and fire growth • Basic fixed firefighting strategy: contain, cool, and starve the fire of air

💭 Think About

• When you first discover a compartment fire, do you want more air moving through that space, or less? Why? • How does stopping or changing ventilation affect the fire’s access to oxygen versus the crew’s ability to see or breathe? • Think about what action best supports using extinguishers or fixed systems effectively in an enclosed space.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option directly affects the oxygen supply to the fire? • Which options are focused mainly on smoke removal or crew protection, rather than stopping fire growth? • Which option best matches standard practice to contain and starve an enclosed-space fire at the initial stage?
