How should items be arranged during salvage cover deployment?

During salvage cover deployment, items should be arranged in the center with the tallest items at the center to facilitate effective water runoff and protect them from potential water damage during firefighting operations. This arrangement maximizes the coverage provided by salvage covers, as it allows the covers to be draped efficiently over the items, ensuring they are well protected.

Placing items at the center helps create a clear area for the salvage cover to extend outward, decreasing the chance of water pooling or seeping into areas that could damage the goods. The configuration also supports the structural integrity of the salvage efforts by keeping the most vulnerable items protected while allowing firefighters enough space to maneuver.

In contrast, other arrangements could lead to complications. For instance, having items in separate rooms could limit access and complicate the deployment of salvage covers, as firefighters might need to navigate multiple spaces instead of engaging in a more centralized and organized response. Similarly, clustering items towards the walls may reduce the effectiveness of the cover by causing uneven distribution and potentially leaving gaps vulnerable to water damage. Finally, placing items in boxes for removal does not address the urgent need to protect them from immediate damage during firefighting efforts. The main focus during salvage operations is to safeguard the items from the resource impacts of firefighting, which
