During a fire drill on a MODU, what action is required?

A Start each fire pump
B Inspect fire hoses
C Inventory rescue and fire equipment
D Launch and run a lifeboat
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Start each fire pump. During a fire drill on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), the primary action required is to start each fire pump to ensure they are in working order and ready to respond in the event of an actual fire emergency. This is in accordance with Coast Guard regulations for fire and abandon ship drills on MODUs. The other options, while potentially relevant for a fire drill, are not the primary action required. Inspecting fire hoses, inventorying equipment, and launching lifeboats are important, but starting the fire pumps is the critical first step to ensure the MODU's firefighting capabilities are operational.
