Question 12 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

When forest firefighters create a “fire line,” what do you imagine that is?

Answer
A
A wide patch of cut-away vegetation and trees to make a path that deprives the fire of fuel.
B
A rope set on fire to lead other firefighters deeper into the forest.
C
A line drawn around a section of forest that cannot yet be entered.
D
A map on the computer that indicates where groups of firefighters have already traveled.

Explanation

A fire line is a strip where vegetation and other burnable material are cleared away. By removing fuel, firefighters create a barrier that can slow or stop the fire from spreading. So the correct choice is “a wide patch of cut-away vegetation and trees to make a path that deprives the fire of fuel.”
