🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for fire stations and hydrants on tank/cargo vessels • Standard fire hose coupling thread specifications for 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" hose • Safety considerations for removing fire hose in heavy weather

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does this sound like something that would actually improve fire safety in an emergency, or reduce it? • Compare the thread-per-inch numbers in choice B with what you remember from standard National Fire Hose coupling tables—are they in the right order for each hose size? • Think about how clearly fire stations must be marked so crews can find them quickly: what do the regulations typically require about color and letter size?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact threads-per-inch specified in the CFR for 1 1/2" vs 2 1/2" hose and make sure they’re not reversed. • Confirm whether regulations allow removing hose in heavy weather, or if they expect firefighting gear to remain immediately ready for use at all times. • Check if the CFR actually states a requirement for red letters of a specific height on fire station markings, or if that detail sounds incomplete or off.
