To remedy a leaking fire hose connection at the hydrant, secure the valve and _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) replace the gasket in the female coupling.
To remedy a leaking fire hose connection at the hydrant, the proper procedure is to secure the valve and replace the gasket in the female coupling. This is because the leak is likely caused by a worn or damaged gasket in the female coupling, which creates a poor seal between the hydrant and the fire hose. Replacing this gasket will restore the proper seal and stop the leak. The other options, such as reducing fire pump pressure or replacing the gasket in the male coupling, would not directly address the issue of the leaking female coupling.
