Question: 1 / 400

What additional fire fighting equipment is required outside the machinery space on boats 24m or longer?

Three fire hoses

One power-driven fire pump with hose and nozzle

The additional fire fighting equipment required outside the machinery space on boats measuring 24m or longer is one power-driven fire pump with hose and nozzle. This is because a fire pump is necessary to pump water from the source of the fire, and a hose and nozzle are vital for directing water onto the fire. A water cannon (option D) may be useful for larger vessels, but it is not a mandatory requirement for boats 24m or longer. Three fire hoses (option A) may be useful, but they are not sufficient on their own to fight a fire. Similarly, handheld fire extinguishers (option C) may also be useful for fighting small fires, but they are not enough to meet the necessary fire fighting requirements outside the machinery space on larger boats. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and appropriate choice.
