🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire main system requirements for vessels with multiple fire pumps (46 CFR, SOLAS II-2) • The idea of at least one pump being immediately ready for firefighting • Difference between a pump being in use, available, and requiring setup

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does the regulation require a pump to be actually running, or just ready for instant firefighting use? • Which option would delay the initial firefighting response because of extra connection or setup steps? • Which choice focuses on pressure rating rather than readiness or availability for the fire main?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option ensures a pump is instantly usable for the fire main without extra fabrication or assembly • Eliminate any choice that would require time-consuming connection work before water can be delivered to hoses • Notice that pump pressure rating alone does not address the rule’s concern about availability to the fire main
