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

Galley fires often involve high-temperature grease. If the fire reaches the range hood ventilation system, it can ignite accumulated grease deposits, causing the fire to spread rapidly through the ductwork to other ship areas. Maintaining clean, fire-dampened ventilation systems is critical for fire containment under 46 CFR requirements.
