During overhaul, what should be readily available to address any hot spots or flare-ups?

During overhaul, having a charged hose line readily available is crucial for addressing any hot spots or flare-ups effectively. This ensures that firefighters can quickly douse any lingering embers or small fires that may reignite as debris is moved or disturbed. A charged hose line can deliver a consistent and powerful stream of water, which is essential in cooling down and extinguishing these potential hazards quickly to prevent further damage or danger.

While other options may offer some utility in different contexts, a charged hose line provides the necessary pressure and volume needed to combat any hot spots in a more efficient and effective manner. For instance, while extinguishing agents, fire blankets, or water buckets can be useful for specific situations, they do not provide the same level of control and accessibility as a charged hose line during overhaul operations, where rapid response to flare-ups is often vital.
