On offshore drilling units, each fire station is required to be fitted with at least one spanner and at least one _______________.

A fire axe
B scupper
C sandbag
D hose rack
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) hose rack. On offshore drilling units, each fire station is required to be fitted with at least one spanner (a type of wrench) and at least one hose rack. This requirement is specified in the regulations governing fire safety equipment on these types of vessels, which are part of the standards enforced by the US Coast Guard for maintaining a safe working environment. The other options, fire axe, scupper, and sandbag, are not the specific equipment required at each fire station by the regulations. While these items may be present on the vessel for other firefighting or emergency purposes, they are not the mandatory components that must be provided at each designated fire station location.
