🔍 Key Concepts

• MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) fire protection requirements in 46 CFR or the MODU Code • The difference between portable fire extinguishers and fixed fire-extinguishing systems on a drill floor • What a C-II extinguisher rating means in terms of capacity and expected fire risk

💭 Think About

• Think about the level of fire risk on a drill floor and whether regulations are likely to require just a token extinguisher or multiple units for coverage • Consider if the requirement is typically an odd or even number of extinguishers for coverage of a large open work area • Ask yourself whether the regulation is more about having enough extinguishing agent quickly available or simply meeting a minimal presence requirement

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the applicable MODU fire protection section how many portable extinguishers are specified specifically for the drill floor (not just the unit in general) • Check that the extinguisher size/class is C-II and not another type, so you don't mix up with different location requirements • Confirm whether the rule calls for “at least” a certain number and match that phrase with the closest choice
