🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire on water behavior – how burning oil spreads and where the flames/intense heat are located relative to the wind • Safe water entry technique – body position that protects face, airway, and reduces exposure to flames/heat • Relative wind direction – difference between windward and leeward side when there is smoke and flame

💭 Think About

• Think about which parts of your body are most vulnerable if you must pass briefly through a layer of burning oil or intense heat on the surface. • Consider how you can best protect your airway, eyes, and face from flame, heat, and inhalation of smoke at the moment you enter the water. • Ask yourself which option would actually increase your contact with the burning surface layer, and which would minimize it, even if you still have to go through some flame.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice best protects your face, eyes, nose, and mouth at the instant you enter the water. • Eliminate any option that would force your head/face to hit the surface first or leave your airway unprotected. • Consider which option would still be important even if you cannot choose the ideal location on the vessel to enter the water.
