What should be done in the event of a fire involving a weapon?

In the event of a fire involving a weapon, notifying the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team is crucial because they are specially trained to handle situations involving munitions or related hazards. They can provide the necessary expertise and resources to manage and mitigate the risks associated with such fires safely.

Using a 30-degree spray pattern is also appropriate as it helps to effectively cool the area and control flames without adding to the risk of an explosion. The spray pattern allows for a wider coverage area and helps prevent the fire from escalating further, as opposed to direct, concentrated streams that might disturb the weapon's mechanism or cause additional complications.

Addressing the other options, using water could be problematic as it may not be suitable for fires involving certain types of weapons or ammunition due to the risk of chemical reactions. Moving the weapon to a safe area can be dangerous; without proper guidance from EOD professionals, this action could inadvertently trigger a more severe incident. While using foam can be effective for some types of fires, it may not be the most appropriate choice for all weapon-related fires, particularly where different materials are involved.

Thus, the emphasis on EOD notification and utilizing safe firefighting techniques under their guidance highlights the importance of responding to weapon fires
