In illustration D039SA below, which Fire Control Plan symbol represents a NON-portable extinguisher?
• Difference between portable and non-portable fire extinguishing equipment on Fire Control Plans • How Fire Control Plan symbols distinguish movable appliances (with wheels/handles) from fixed or semi-fixed systems • Pay attention to the details around the numbered symbols 14, 25, 36, and 57 in the illustration
• Which of the numbered symbols clearly depicts an extinguisher that can be carried or wheeled to a fire, and which looks like equipment that stays permanently installed in one place? • Look closely at symbol 57 compared with symbols 25 and 26 – what does 57 seem to represent: a single piece of equipment or a chart/legend of several units? • Among 14 and 36, which one looks more like a fixed fire-fighting station that you would go to and operate in place, rather than something you pick up and move?
• Verify which symbols in the chart show wheels, carrying handles, or cylinders standing free – these usually indicate portable units. • Check whether any option is actually a reference panel or legend rather than an extinguisher itself. • Confirm that the symbol you choose represents equipment that is mounted or connected to piping/hoses and clearly not meant to be moved around.
