C: During the application of FireIce, the operating pressure at the nozzle shall be between 60-100 psi.

D: The member operating the nozzle should commence operations at a safe standoff distance of 50 feet.

Answer 20

B: FireIce may be used on any underground electric manhole or transformer fire where suppression of fire is desired.
