🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire tetrahedron and how fires are sustained (fuel, heat, oxygen, chemical chain reaction) • Different methods of extinguishment: cooling, smothering, removing fuel, and chain‑breaking • Typical uses and characteristics of Halon agents vs. dry chemical agents on vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about which extinguishing agents interfere with the chemical chain reaction in the flame rather than just removing oxygen or cooling the fuel • Consider what you know about Halon systems used in machinery spaces and electronics rooms—what is their primary extinguishing mechanism? • Review how Purple K (PKP) dry chemical is described in your study materials: does it mainly smother, cool, or break the chemical reaction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in your reference which agents are specifically described as "chain‑breaking" extinguishers • Check whether both halon types listed are said to work by interrupting the chemical reaction, or if one has a different primary action • Confirm if Purple K is classified as a dry chemical that interrupts the chemical chain reaction, or mainly as a smothering agent in your text
