In illustration D039SA below, which Fire Control Plan symbol represents a fire station?
• Carefully compare the symbols and their numbers on both parts of illustration D039SA. • Think about what equipment is usually found at a fire station on board (e.g., hose, nozzle, hydrant, extinguisher). • Distinguish between a symbol that marks a single fire extinguisher and one that marks a complete fire station location.
• Which of the numbered symbols looks like it represents a full fire-fighting point rather than just one specific piece of equipment? • Look for lettering or a pictogram that would make sense as a general marker on a Fire Control Plan for where you go to fight a fire, not just what medium is used. • Between the four answer numbers, which ones clearly refer to a specific agent (like foam or CO2), and which one is more general for a fire-fighting station?
• Verify which symbol in the diagram is used repeatedly near hoses, nozzles, and multiple fire-fighting devices, indicating a station rather than just one appliance. • Check whether the letters on the symbol stand for a particular extinguishing agent or for a more general fire equipment location. • Be sure the number you choose matches a symbol that would logically appear at each fire hose station throughout the vessel, not just on individual extinguishers.
