Which of the following statements is FALSE concerning the proper procedure in handling a fire hose?

Correct Answer: Option D — Use of a spanner wrench when attaching nozzles or additional lengths of hose is always critical.

Spanner wrenches should be hand-tightened first, using the wrench only for a final snug turn to avoid thread stripping or gasket damage. Requiring a spanner wrench for every single coupling connection is unnecessary and wastes critical time during emergency response.
