Question 1860Deck General70% to pass
Which portable fire extinguisher is required just outside the exit of the propulsion machinery space of a 75-ton passenger vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 15 lb. CO2 extinguisher.
The reason this is the correct answer is that the regulations for passenger vessels require a 15 lb. CO2 fire extinguisher to be located just outside the exit of the propulsion machinery space. This is specified in 46 CFR 181.310, which outlines the fire extinguishing equipment requirements for small passenger vessels.
The other options are incorrect because a 2 lb. dry chemical extinguisher (A) would not meet the size requirement, a 2-1/2 gallon foam extinguisher (C) is not the type specified, and no fire extinguisher is not an option (D) as one is required in this location.
