Question 1092 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 5 gallon water (stored pressure). The requirement for a B-II fire extinguisher on a tank barge carrying petroleum specifies that the extinguisher must be of a certain minimum size and type, typically a 20-pound dry chemical or 15-pound CO2 extinguisher. A 5 gallon water (stored pressure) extinguisher does not meet this requirement, as it is a different type and size than what is specified in the regulations. The other options, A) 2-1/2 gallon foam, C) 10 pound dry chemical, and D) 15 pound CO2, would all meet the B-II fire extinguisher requirement, as they are the proper type and size as per the regulations.
