What fire fighting equipment must boats 12m but under 24m have in the engine room?

  1. A 5BC portable fire extinguisher

  2. A 10BC portable fire extinguisher

  3. Water spray system

  4. A fire blanket

The correct answer is: A 10BC portable fire extinguisher

Boats that are 12m but under 24m in length are considered to be a Class 3 in terms of fire safety requirements. Class 3 boats are required to have at least one portable fire extinguisher rated at 10BC or higher in the engine room. Option A, a 5BC fire extinguisher, is not sufficient as it does not meet the minimum rating requirement for Class 3 boats. Option C, a water spray system, is not a required piece of equipment for boats under 24m in length. Option D, a fire blanket, is not a suitable replacement for a fire extinguisher in the engine room as it is intended for smothering small fires on people and not larger fires in the engine room. Therefore, option B, a 10BC portable fire extinguisher, is the correct answer as it meets the minimum fire safety requirement for Class
