🔍 Key Concepts

• Fixed CO₂ fire extinguishing systems on small passenger vessels (46 CFR Subchapter T – see fire protection sections) • Why you do NOT want to be inside a space after CO₂ is released • The idea of an accessible and safe remote operating location for fire systems

💭 Think About

• If CO₂ displaces oxygen and can be deadly to people, where would it be unsafe to stand when operating the system? • In a real fire, what areas around the protected space are most likely to become quickly inaccessible? • Which option best matches the idea of being able to operate the system even if the fire is already well‑developed in the protected space?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option where the operator would be trapped in, or have to enter, the CO₂‑flooded space to use the controls • Check which option is both accessible in an emergency and not endangered by the fire in that space • Remember small passenger vessel rules aim to protect personnel safety first, then equipment – pick the location that reflects that priority.
