🔍 Key Concepts

• Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) carriage and performance requirements for commercial vessels • Minimum air duration requirements found in 46 CFR (look under fire protection and firefighting equipment) • Difference between basic escape devices and firefighter’s breathing apparatus used for interior firefighting

💭 Think About

• Is this question asking about a quick escape hood or about a full firefighting SCBA intended for interior fire attack? • On a ship, would regulations favor a very short duration (just enough to get out) or a longer duration that allows searching and fighting fires inside the vessel? • Among the choices, which duration best matches what is considered a practical minimum for a trained firefighter to enter, search briefly, and withdraw safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR, Subchapter W (Lifesaving and Fire Protection) for SCBA duration requirements • Confirm you are looking at firefighter’s SCBA, not emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs) or smoke hoods • Check whether the regulation specifies a minimum rated duration in minutes for each apparatus, and compare that value to the options given
