Q

Which of the following classes of fire would probably occur in the engine room bilges?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Classes of fire and what materials they involve (e.g., ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, electrical, metals) • Typical contents of an engine room bilge on a vessel (what tends to collect there?) • How fuel and oil behave if they leak and pool in a confined space like a bilge

💭 Think About

• Think about what normally accumulates in engine room bilges: is it mostly solid materials, liquids, electrical equipment, or metals? • Match the likely bilge material to the correct fire class definition rather than guessing from the letter labels. • Consider which type of fire class is associated with flammable liquids like oil or fuel on board a vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review the definitions of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D fires. • Identify what substances are actually present in engine room bilges on most ships. • Confirm which fire class specifically involves flammable liquids such as fuel oil, lubricating oil, or diesel.
