Question 1762Deck General70% to pass
What would be an example of a B-I extinguisher? (small passenger vessel regulations)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 pound dry chemical.
The small passenger vessel regulations (46 CFR Subchapter T) specify that a B-I fire extinguisher must have a minimum capacity of 2 pounds of dry chemical. This meets the requirements for the small Class B fire (flammable liquids and gases) that a B-I extinguisher is intended to address on small passenger vessels.
The other options are incorrect because: A) 5 pound foam is too large, C) 10 pound carbon dioxide is too large, and D) 2.5 gallon foam does not meet the dry chemical requirement for a B-I extinguisher.
