A fire is considered 'under control' when _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) the fire is contained and no longer spreading.
A fire is considered "under control" when the fire is contained and no longer spreading. This means that the fire has been confined to a specific area and the firefighting efforts have been successful in preventing the further spread of the flames. The fixed fire suppression systems or the presence of all firefighting equipment (options A and B) do not necessarily indicate that the fire is under control, as the fire may still be active and spreading. Similarly, having all hands at their fire stations (option D) does not necessarily mean the fire is under control, as the crew may still be actively fighting the fire.
