Question 692 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) All of the above. All three extinguishing agents - carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and foam - are suitable for combating a class B fire in an engine compartment. Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gases, and these agents are effective at extinguishing and preventing the spread of such fires. The choice of extinguishing agent may depend on factors like the size of the fire, accessibility of the fire, and the specific characteristics of the engine compartment. Proper training and familiarity with the use of these agents is crucial for effective firefighting on board a vessel.
