Where should small burning objects be placed during overhaul operations?

During overhaul operations, small burning objects should be submerged in a container of water to ensure they are fully extinguished and to prevent any chance of re-ignition. Submerging the entire object in water allows for thorough cooling and ensures that any smoldering materials are fully extinguished. This method also helps in preventing the spread of fire to other areas and reduces the risk of flare-ups during the critical phase of overhaul when firefighters assess and secure the area post-fire.

Utilizing a container of water is particularly effective because it allows for immediate control over any residual heat within the object and assists in identifying any hidden embers or pockets that may not be immediately noticeable. This method aligns with best practices for fire suppression and safety during overhaul operations.
