Fire attack is split into two different categories.

• A. Direct & Direct Attack
• B. Indirect & Defensive
• C. Direct & Indirect Attack
• D. Exterior & Interior

Answer: (C)

Fire attack is split into two categories: direct and indirect. A direct attack means applying water straight onto the burning fuel at the seat of the fire, with the nozzle aiming to cool the fuel and knock down the flames from up close. An indirect attack uses water from a distance or in a way that targets the heat and gases in the environment—often applying water to the ceiling or using a fog pattern to absorb heat and suppress the fire before advancing. The other choices mix terms that aren’t standard categories for how water is applied: one pairs two same-type terms, another pairs a method with a defensive concept, and another uses location (exterior/interior) rather than attack method.
