In illustration D039SA below, what two fire control plan symbols designate the directional means of escape?
• Look closely at the symbols numbered 61–63 near the bottom of Part 2; notice which ones look like arrows showing movement or direction. • Remember that "directional means of escape" on a fire control plan usually uses green safety/escape symbols, not red fire-fighting symbols. • Compare the color and shape of symbols 19 and 69 with those of 61–63 to decide which are more likely to mark an escape route rather than equipment or hazard locations.
• Which symbols would most clearly tell a person which way to walk to get to an exit or escape route in an emergency? • Are any of the answer‑choice numbers associated with fire‑fighting equipment or closures rather than with people moving along an escape path? • If you imagine this as a posted plan in a passageway, which of the candidate symbols would you expect to see repeated along a corridor to guide you?
• Verify which symbols are green directional arrows rather than red fire‑fighting or hazard symbols. • Confirm that each chosen symbol appears to indicate direction or route (not a single location or piece of equipment). • Check that both symbols in your selected pair could logically be used together as escape‑route indicators on a shipboard fire control plan.
