🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire spread through conduction, convection, and radiation • The difference between ordinary combustibles and highly flammable/rapidly spreading combustibles • How location (adjacent vs above) and type of contents affect immediate risk

💭 Think About

• Which nearby space could allow the fire to spread fastest and most dangerously from the galley? • How do soft goods (like bedding, fabrics, or steward supplies) behave in a fire compared with metal spare parts? • Does being directly above the galley always mean the greatest immediate concern, or does the type of material stored matter more?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which storeroom likely contains the most easily ignited and fast-burning materials • Consider whether radiant heat and smoke from a galley fire would threaten side spaces or overhead spaces more quickly • Ask which option represents the highest fire load of combustible materials, not just any combustible item
