Question

How many fire extinguishers must be carried onboard power boats

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three types of fire extinguishers:

Type A, for combustible solids.

Type B, for flammable liquids.

Type C, for electrical fires.

Explanation:

As stated by the question, there should be type B extinguishers on board power boats in case of fire. The number of extinguishers depends on the size of the boat; if it measures:

• less than 26 feet - 1 fire extinguisher
• 26 feet - 40 feet - 2 fire extinguishers
• 40 feet - 65 feet - 3 fire extinguishers

Also the location of them is very important, they must be placed correctly in an accesible area in order to prevent fires.
