70% to pass

Fire protection regulations for towing vessels require training in all of the following, EXCEPT _______________.

A refilling and servicing all expended fire extinguishing equipment
B donning a self-contained breathing apparatus, if the vessel is so equipped
C activating the general alarm and reporting inoperative alarm systems and fire-detection systems
D putting on a fireman's outfit, if the vessel is so equipped
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) refilling and servicing all expended fire extinguishing equipment. The fire protection regulations for towing vessels do not require training in refilling and servicing all expended fire extinguishing equipment. Instead, the regulations focus on training in activities like donning self-contained breathing apparatus, activating the general alarm, and putting on a fireman's outfit. The crew is expected to have the vessel's fire extinguishing equipment serviced and refilled by qualified personnel, rather than doing it themselves. The other options (B, C, and D) are all types of training that are required under the fire protection regulations for towing vessels.
