Direct Attack, Indirect Attack, and Combination Attack are collectively known as

• A. 3 Types of Attack
• B. Types Fire Streams
• C. Fog Stream
• D. Handlines Operations

Answer: (A)

Direct attack, indirect attack, and combination attack are the three main ways firefighters apply water to a fire. They’re grouped together as the three types of attack: direct attack pours water straight onto the fuel to cool and suppress flames; indirect attack cools the environment from a safe location to reduce heat before entry; and combination attack uses both cooling and direct application to control the fire. The other options describe tools or stream characteristics, not the overall method, so they don’t fit as the collective name for these approaches.
