🔍 Key Concepts

• Class A fire behavior (ordinary combustibles like wood, cloth, paper) in an enclosed steel compartment • How conduction through steel bulkheads can spread heat to adjacent spaces • Difference between solid stream vs water fog and how each affects cooling and steam production

💭 Think About

• Which method will best cool the steel bulkhead itself and remove heat so the fire does not spread next door? • How does creating steam against hot steel help or hurt fire spread compared to just throwing a hard, solid stream of water? • Between a quick sweep and a repeated, controlled application, which better ensures the steel is actually cooled below ignition temperature on the other side?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices use water fog versus solid stream and recall which is better for surface cooling and heat absorption. • Notice which options involve monitoring steam production and repeating until steam is no longer produced, and relate that to whether the bulkhead is still very hot. • Ask: To prevent spread through a steel bulkhead, do I want to just wet it once, or cool it thoroughly over time until heat conduction is minimized?
