Which tactic is described as defensive in imminent fire front situations and secondary for perimeter action?

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

Answer: (A)

Bump and Run is the tactic described. In imminent fire front situations, this approach uses quick, targeted movements along the edge of the fire front to create a brief safety window and position for defense, effectively pushing the fire away long enough to retreat to a safer spot and continue protecting the structure. It’s also used as a secondary measure for perimeter action, applied selectively where a rapid adjustment can help manage the edge without committing to a full, continuous defense around the entire boundary. The other tactics serve different purposes: following the fire front is a high-risk move that keeps you in the flame’s path, anchoring and holding focuses on maintaining a fixed defensive point, and taking cover emphasizes sheltering rather than actively shaping the fire’s edge around the perimeter.
