Question 2283Deck General70% to pass
On an uninspected vessel which sizes of fire extinguishers are considered to be semi-portable?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) III, IV, and V only.
Semi-portable fire extinguishers, as defined by the US Coast Guard, are sizes III, IV, and V. These extinguishers are larger than the handheld (portable) size I and II extinguishers, but smaller and more manageable than the fixed, mounted size V extinguishers. The semi-portable designation indicates they can be moved around the vessel as needed, but are not easily carried by a single person like the smaller portable extinguishers.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they either include sizes that are not considered semi-portable (A and B), or exclude sizes that are semi-portable (C).
