Which of the following statements is true concerning the fire extinguisher shown in the illustration? SF-0006
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — The agent may be applied in short bursts by opening and closing the squeeze nozzle piece #1.
Stored pressure and cartridge-operated extinguishers with squeeze-grip valves allow the operator to control agent application using short bursts. This conserves extinguishing medium, prevents agent depletion, and helps manage fuel vaporization during firefighting operations.
