🔍 Key Concepts

• Class B fires (flammable liquids like oil and gasoline) and how they are best extinguished • The effect of water in a solid stream on floating liquids in a confined space like a bilge • Why smothering agents (like foam or CO₂) are often preferred for fuel fires

💭 Think About

• Which type of nozzle or agent is most likely to spread burning fuel rather than put it out? • In a bilge fire with oil or gasoline on the surface, do you want to apply forceful water to the surface, or gently cover/smother it? • Think about which choice is least suitable for a Class B fire in a confined space such as a bilge.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are specifically designed for Class B (flammable liquid) fires • Consider whether any option could agitate or disperse burning fuel over a wider area • Verify which agents work by smothering the fire versus pushing the fuel around
