Which operational risk increased for Byzantine Dromon warships using Greek Fire when storing naphtha near bronze rams?

💡 Explanation

Ignition risk increases because of enhanced thermal radiation: the bronze rams conduct/reflect radiant heat onto/into the flammable naptha storage area, therefore combustion is more likely, rather than mechanical or fouling limitations.
