🔍 Key Concepts

• Notice that all four answer choices are types of portable fire extinguishers • Think about which agent is suitable (or not suitable) for flammable liquid fires such as gasoline or fuel on a small boat • Consider the dangers of using water directly on burning fuel and of using an agent that might not reach into confined spaces

💭 Think About

• Are any of these agents clearly unsafe or ineffective for use on a burning fuel spill on or around a small open boat? Why? • Which agent is commonly recommended for Class B (flammable liquid) fires in marine environments, especially where electrical equipment may also be present? • If you had a fuel fire in or near an open lifeboat, which type of extinguisher would you want to have, and which would you avoid first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that would spread burning fuel rather than smother it • Think about which agents work mainly by displacing oxygen versus forming a blanket over the fuel surface • Verify which extinguisher types are generally approved for Class B fires (flammable liquids) in marine service
