Each fire hydrant serving machinery spaces containing oil fired boilers, internal combustion machinery, or oil fuel units must be equipped with a __________.
• Fixed fire main systems and hose equipment requirements for machinery spaces • Special fire-fighting equipment used for oil fires in machinery spaces • Where in 46 CFR Subchapter I (or relevant subchapter for the vessel) these hydrant requirements are described
• Which of these items would normally be attached directly to a hydrant or fire hose in a machinery space? • For spaces with oil-fired boilers or fuel units, what type of nozzle or applicator is needed to safely fight an oil fire without spreading burning fuel? • Which options are more like portable gear or other equipment, rather than something that must be fitted to each hydrant serving those machinery spaces?
• Verify which option is specifically named in the fire main and hydrant regulations for machinery spaces with oil-fired equipment • Check which item is designed to apply water in a way that won’t splash and spread burning oil • Confirm that the required item is something that is part of the hydrant/hose system, not general fire-fighting or deck equipment
