When fighting an oil or gasoline fire in the bilge, which of the following should NOT be used?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Solid stream water nozzle.
When fighting an oil or gasoline fire in the bilge, a solid stream water nozzle should not be used. This is because a solid stream of water can spread the burning liquid, causing the fire to spread rather than extinguish it. Instead, options like A) all-purpose nozzle, B) carbon dioxide, or C) foam should be used, as they are more effective at smothering and extinguishing this type of fire without spreading the burning liquid.
