🔍 Key Concepts

• Fireman’s outfit requirements in 46 CFR and SOLAS • Typical components of structural firefighting gear on ships • Difference between personal protective equipment (PPE) and normal deck/rigging gear

💭 Think About

• Which option is clearly designed specifically for entering a smoke-filled or toxic atmosphere during a fire? • Which items are more related to everyday deck work or lifesaving, rather than to interior firefighting? • On a ship, what extra equipment must a firefighter have in addition to protective clothing and a helmet to safely breathe in heavy smoke?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a breathing/respiratory protection device • Eliminate items that are general work or survival equipment, not firefighting specific • Ask yourself which item is explicitly named in shipboard fireman’s outfit regulations and fire plans
