How many direct fire fighting method types are listed?

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that direct fire fighting methods are categorized by how water is applied to suppress the fire: you have a direct attack where water is applied straight to the seat of the fire, an indirect attack where you cool the surrounding space to lower heat and slow the fire’s growth, and a combination approach that blends direct application with cooling to control the fire when access is limited. Those three distinct approaches make up the listed direct fighting method types, so the number is three. The other options don’t align with this standard three-method framework.
