🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR fire protection requirements for engine room hose stations on inspected vessels • The standard equipment required at each fire station (nozzles, hoses, tools) • Special requirements for machinery space (engine room) stations compared with other locations

💭 Think About

• Think about what equipment must be immediately available to actually use and control a fire hose in the engine room. • Ask yourself: does the regulation usually list only one specific item, or a combination of items, for a machinery-space fire station? • Consider whether a fog applicator is a general hose accessory or a specifically required item in engine room stations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 34/95 (Fire Protection) what is listed for "fire stations" in machinery spaces. • Check whether the regulation specifies the need for a spanner wrench at each fire station, not just on the vessel in general. • Confirm if a low velocity fog applicator (specific length) is explicitly tied to engine room/machinery-space fire stations.
