What percent of a small structure can a 200' preconnect reach?

The correct answer indicates that a 200-foot preconnect is capable of reaching 100% of a small structure. This is based on the understanding of the effective reach and operational capabilities of firefighting equipment. A 200-foot length allows firefighters to effectively cover the entirety of most small structures, which typically do not exceed this distance in width or depth.

Firefighting operations require quick and efficient access to all areas of a structure, and a preconnect of this length gives firefighters a significant advantage in reaching all necessary points for firefighting and rescue operations. Many small structures, such as single-family homes or small commercial buildings, can be accessed fully with this length without requiring additional hoses.

For structures that may be larger or designed differently, a shorter preconnect would clearly limit the access firefighters have, hence why the other options reflect incomplete coverage. This understanding reinforces the operational necessity of having appropriately long hoselines available during response situations.
