🔍 Key Concepts

• Characteristics of a 15 lb CO2 fire extinguisher • Difference between discharge time and effective range • Typical stream reach of portable CO2 extinguishers used on vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about how far a CO2 discharge can travel while still being concentrated enough to smother a fire effectively. • Compare the listed ranges to what would be practical for aiming at the base of the fire from a safe, but still effective, distance. • Consider what you’ve seen or practiced with portable extinguishers: does the CO2 stream act more like a short blast or a long hose stream?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are focusing on effective range, not how long the extinguisher will discharge. • Eliminate any choice that would place you too close to a fire to be safe or so far away that CO2 would disperse before reaching the base of the flames. • Recall typical Coast Guard training materials or flashcards that list standard range values for a 15 lb CO2 extinguisher.
