Question 366 Deck General

The correct answer is C) two B-II's or C-II's. According to the regulations in the United States Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, a galley with an area of 3,500 square feet requires two portable fire extinguishers, either two B-II's or two C-II's. This is based on the fire hazards typically found in a galley area, and the required fire extinguishing capacity needed to address those hazards. The other options are incorrect because A) one B-II would not provide sufficient fire extinguishing capability for a 3,500 square foot area, B) one C-II would not be appropriate for the mixed fire hazards in a galley, and D) two A-II's or B-II's would not meet the required fire extinguishing capacity for the galley size.
