🔍 Key Concepts
• Look at what each numbered symbol (31, 49, 55, 68) actually shows and think about what kind of fire‑fighting or safety equipment it represents.
• Recall which special fire‑fighting devices are commonly installed in a ship’s galley (kitchen) to deal with cooking‑oil and stove fires.
• Distinguish between symbols that show general or shipwide equipment (like alarms, temperature sensing, or power) and those that show equipment located specifically near cooking appliances.
đź’ Think About
• For each of the four numbers, ask yourself: Would this piece of equipment be installed in many places around the ship, or is it something you’d expect mainly near stoves, fryers, or grills in the galley?
• Compare the shapes: does the symbol look like a thermometer, an electrical device, a general marker, or something used to smother or extinguish cooking fires near hot surfaces?
• Think about SOLAS/Fire Control Plan practice: What extra protection does a galley need compared to a regular cabin or passageway, and which of these symbols best matches that?
âś… Before You Answer
• Be sure you can verbally describe what each symbol (31, 49, 55, 68) depicts before choosing.
• Eliminate any symbol that clearly represents general-purpose monitoring or power rather than galley‑specific fire protection.
• Focus on the symbol that corresponds to specialized galley fire‑fighting equipment, not ordinary extinguishers or indicators.
