Where must a 10BC portable fire extinguisher be located on boats 24m or longer?

Only in the machinery space
At each access to spaces with fuel-burning appliances, accommodation spaces, and machinery space entrance
In the galley and sleeping quarters only
At the helm and in the dining area

The correct answer is: At each access to spaces with fuel-burning appliances, accommodation spaces, and machinery space entrance

A 10BC portable fire extinguisher must be located at each access to spaces with fuel-burning appliances, accommodation spaces, and machinery space entrance on boats 24m or longer. This is because these areas are more prone to fire hazards and having fire extinguishers readily accessible in these areas can help contain and put out any potential fires quickly. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not cover all the necessary areas for fire safety on a boat. It is important to have fire extinguishers easily accessible in all potential high-risk areas on a boat, as a fire outbreak in any area can quickly spread and become unmanageable.
