Which fire control plan symbol, in illustration D039SA below, represents a dry chemical delivery method for small scale fires?
• Look for symbols that show portable or small-scale application equipment rather than large fixed systems. • Remember that on many fire control plans, the letter P is used for powder (dry chemical), while CO₂ is clearly marked for carbon dioxide systems. • Distinguish between a storage bank of cylinders and an actual delivery device (nozzle, hose reel, or extinguisher) used directly on a fire.
• Which of the numbered symbols in the answer choices actually shows a device that a crew member would take or operate directly to fight a small, localized fire? • Among the options, which one is clearly labeled for CO₂, and which ones are associated with powder (P)? • Is the symbol you’re considering more like a fixed installation (supply bottles) or like a handline/hose/extinguisher meant for immediate small-scale use?
• Confirm that the symbol you pick includes the letter for powder (P), not CO₂ or F. • Verify that it depicts a delivery method (such as an extinguisher or hose reel), not just storage cylinders or a remote system. • Make sure the scale of the device matches small-scale fires—something operated locally by a person, not a whole-room flooding system.
