How many primary hydrants are there at Cecil airport?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is how an airport arranges its primary water supply to make sure a fire engine can reach and pump water quickly from any area of the field. In Cecil airport’s layout, there are four primary hydrants. This four-hydrant configuration provides reliable coverage around key zones like runways, taxiways, and ramps, so crews can access water promptly from different directions and maintain sufficient flow and pressure during an incident. If there were fewer than four, some areas could be too far from a hydrant, delaying initial attack. If there were more, it would offer more redundancy but isn’t necessary for this setup and could complicate maintenance and operations.
