🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire behavior in confined spaces (heat, smoke, and toxic gases) • Ventilation as part of a fire attack strategy (what it helps remove or control) • Effects of gases of combustion on both the fire and firefighters

💭 Think About

• Think about what builds up inside a closed compartment during a fire and how that affects both the fire and people entering the space. • Ask yourself: Does ventilation mainly protect nearby spaces, improve a specific attack method, or change the atmosphere where firefighters are working? • Which choice best matches the primary safety reason for ventilating a compartment that is already on fire?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what gases of combustion are and why they are dangerous (visibility, toxicity, heat). • Decide whether ventilation is done only in special stowage situations or is a more general firefighting practice. • Check which choice talks about directly protecting firefighters inside or near the burning compartment rather than just helping the fire spread or reducing heat elsewhere.
