What should be available during overhaul to douse any hot spots or flare-ups?

During overhaul, it is essential to have a charged hose line available to effectively address any hot spots or flare-ups that may arise after the initial fire has been suppressed. A charged hose line provides a continuous supply of water, allowing firefighters to thoroughly wet down affected areas and ensure that all embers and latent heat are extinguished. This is crucial in preventing re-ignition of any materials that may still be smoldering.

Utilizing a charged hose line allows for immediate and efficient application of water, which is vital in an overhaul situation where vigilance is needed to ensure complete extinguishment. The flexible reach of a hose line also enables firefighters to target specific areas that may be difficult to access with other tools or extinguishing methods.

While other options serve important roles in firefighting, they do not provide the same level of immediate and thorough suppression that a charged hose line offers during the overhaul process.
