🔍 Key Concepts

• Electrical fire safety procedures aboard ship • Difference between removing power and physically cutting or handling a live cable • Risk of arc, shock, and re-ignition when working on damaged cables

💭 Think About

• First, think about what your very first priority is when dealing with any energized electrical equipment that is on fire. • Consider which actions could increase danger to personnel if the cable is still energized. • Ask yourself: in real life on a vessel, which step must be done before you even think about cutting, separating, or otherwise handling a damaged cable?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option deals with securing or isolating power rather than physically manipulating the cable. • Check which actions might be unsafe if the cable is still energized (shock, arcing, short circuit). • Confirm that the safest initial response follows standard shipboard electrical safety and fire response practices.
