One of the main concerns when fighting a galley fire is __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — the igniting of a grease fire in the range hood ventilation system

Grease fires in galley range hoods are a leading cause of shipboard fires. These systems accumulate flammable residue that can ignite and spread rapidly through ventilation ducting to other parts of the vessel. Maintaining clean filters and suppression systems is critical for preventing these high-risk, fast-moving fires.
