✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which condition directly exposes boiler heating surfaces without proper water coverage (tube overheating risk). • Consider which casualty requires immediate securing of the boiler rather than just adjusting controls. • Think about which event is usually emphasized in training as the critical emergency requiring the fastest response.
