Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #840 (Set 25)

Which fire-fighting agent is most effective at removing heat?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Water spray

Water spray absorbs more heat per pound than any other standard extinguishing medium due to water's exceptionally high specific heat and latent heat of vaporization. Finely divided droplets maximize thermal transfer and speed cooling.
