Q

On a tank vessel, which of the following substances would be burning in a class "B" fire?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire classification on ships (Class A, B, C, D, K) • Typical fuels involved in a Class B fire • What type of cargoes and liquids are on a tank vessel

💭 Think About

• For each answer choice, decide whether it is a solid material, flammable liquid, or electrical equipment. • Think about which fire class is associated with flammable liquids and combustible liquids. • Ask yourself: what is the usual cargo carried on a tank vessel and what fire class would that cargo fall under?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a flammable liquid rather than a solid or electrical source. • Recall that Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles like wood, cloth, and paper. • Recall that Class C fires involve electrically energized equipment rather than the material itself.
