Question 3680 Deck General

The correct answer is C) carried by hand to a fire. All portable fire extinguishers must be designed and maintained in a way that allows them to be carried by hand to the location of a fire. This is a key requirement specified in maritime fire safety regulations, as the ability to quickly transport a fire extinguisher to the source of the fire is essential for effective firefighting. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) rechargeable extinguishers are not required, as long as they can be carried by hand; B) the ability to roll or carry an extinguisher is not sufficient, it must be able to be lifted and transported manually; and D) the extinguisher type (class B) is not relevant to the requirement that it be portable and hand-carried.
