70% to passThe success of an indirect attack on a fire depends on the _______________.
A
class of the fire
B
complete containment of the fire
C
cooling ability of the firefighting agent
D
size of the fire when initially observed
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) complete containment of the fire. The success of an indirect attack on a fire, such as cooling the surrounding area to prevent the fire from spreading, depends on the complete containment of the fire. If the fire is not fully contained, the heat and flames can continue to spread, making the indirect attack less effective. The class of the fire, the cooling ability of the firefighting agent, and the initial size of the fire are also important factors, but the key to a successful indirect attack is ensuring the fire is completely contained.
