Which Structure Defense Tactical Action focuses on moving ahead of the fire front in the spotting zone to extinguish spot fires and defend as many structures as possible?

• A. Bump and Run
• B. Fire Front Following
• C. Anchor and Hold
• D. Take Cover

Answer: (A)

The tactic focuses on proactively attacking embers ahead of the main fire to stop spot fires before they grow, so you can protect as many structures as possible. Moving into the spotting zone just ahead of the fire front lets you identify and extinguish spot fires quickly, reducing the potential for widespread damage and maximizing the number of structures saved. Other approaches rely on sticking with the advancing fire front, holding a fixed position, or retreating to take cover, none of which emphasize catching and extinguishing spot fires ahead of the main fire to defend multiple structures.
