Aleeward monitor and direct the foam onto a vertical surface while applying a solid stream of water to wash residual fuel over the side away from the pier
Bwindward monitor and direct the foam onto a vertical surface while applying water fog to the fire
Cleeward monitor and direct the foam onto a vertical surface while applying water fog to protect the monitor operator
Dwindward monitor and direct the foam onto a vertical surface while standing by with a charged hose to protect the monitor operator with water fog if needed
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. The reasoning is that for a Class B fire on the weather deck of a moored tank vessel, the fire party should man the windward monitor and direct the foam onto a vertical surface while standing by with a charged hose to protect the monitor operator with water fog if needed. This approach helps contain the fire while providing protection for the fire party operating the monitor. The other options are incorrect because they either direct the foam application from the leeward side (which could spread the fire) or use a solid stream of water instead of water fog to protect the monitor operator.
