Question 1922Deck General70% to pass
Which statement is TRUE concerning fire hose on a small passenger vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A length of hose with nozzle attached shall be attached to each fire hydrant at all times.
This is correct because the regulations for small passenger vessels require that a length of fire hose with the nozzle attached must be connected to each fire hydrant at all times. This ensures the hose is immediately available for use in case of a fire, without having to take the time to attach the hose.
The other options are incorrect because: A) The regulations do not specify a ratio of hose to hydrants, B) The minimum hose diameter is typically 1.5 inches, not 3/4 inch, and D) Hose fittings can be made of various materials, not just steel or other ferrous metals.
