As a general rule of thumb, with no adverse wind conditions, approximately how far could a straight stream of water reach from a fire hose having a nozzle pressure of 100 psi?

Correct Answer: Option B — 100 feet

Standard fire hose performance at a nozzle pressure of 100 psi typically provides a effective reach of approximately 100 feet for a straight stream. This distance is a critical planning factor for fire party positioning and ensuring adequate coverage of machinery spaces during emergency response operations.
