🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS and 46 CFR requirements for fireman’s outfits on cargo vessels • Differences between flame safety lamps, firefighter’s outfits, and emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs) • Rules about number and stowage locations of fireman’s outfits on cargo ships

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: Is this item specifically required to be part of a fireman’s outfit on a cargo vessel, or is it an older/obsolete requirement or for a different type of vessel? • Consider whether safety equipment that might be needed in different parts of the ship should be allowed to be stored together, or separated for redundancy. • Think about what type of breathing apparatus is normally included in a fireman’s outfit used for firefighting inside a vessel: is it fresh-air or self‑contained compressed air?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter I (Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels) the exact list of items required in a fireman’s outfit. • Check whether a flame safety lamp is still listed as a required component of a fireman’s outfit on cargo vessels. • Confirm the rule about stowage locations when more than one fireman’s outfit is carried: must they be in different parts of the vessel?
