🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire control plan purpose and what it shows on board a vessel • What a general arrangement plan typically includes compared to other plans • Differences between midship section, subdivision, and lines plans

💭 Think About

• Which type of drawing would most logically show locations of fire stations, hydrants, extinguishers, escape routes, and fire boundaries throughout the vessel? • Which of these plans shows the overall layout (deck-by-deck) of spaces, passageways, and accommodations rather than just structure or hull shape? • For each wrong-sounding option, ask: does this plan really show detailed internal layouts, or is it mainly about structure or hull form?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which plan is used by crew and firefighters to navigate decks and spaces during an emergency. • Check which plans (midship section, subdivision, lines) are primarily structural/hull design tools rather than operational safety layouts. • Ensure the selected option can logically contain symbols and markings for firefighting equipment and escape routes.
