🔍 Key Concepts

• Totally enclosed lifeboat design and purpose under SOLAS • How air is supplied and protected for both crew breathing and engine operation in fire situations • Typical fire protection features (closures, spray systems, air tanks) provided on modern enclosed lifeboats

💭 Think About

• If the lifeboat is surrounded by flames, which feature is MOST critical to keep people alive for a short period of time? • Which options, if true, could actually make conditions inside WORSE instead of better when the outside is on fire? • Think about how smoke, toxic gases, and heat would enter the boat and what systems are designed to temporarily keep them out.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, ask: does this feature keep flames, heat, and smoke OUT of the boat for a limited time? • Consider whether the engine should be drawing air from inside or outside when the boat is in flames. • Check which option clearly describes a temporary, self-contained protection for BOTH the survivors and the engine.
