Question 138Safety & Environmental - QMED70% to pass
A class "B" fire develops on the weather deck amidships of moored tank vessel. The fire party should man the _______________.
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.
