Question 3729 Deck General

70% to pass

Each fire hydrant must have at least one spanner and at least one _______________.

A pick axe
B hose rack or reel
C all purpose nozzle
D foam applicator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) hose rack or reel. The requirement for fire hydrants to have at least one spanner and at least one hose rack or reel is specified in the regulations governing US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. This ensures that the necessary equipment is readily available to connect and use the fire hydrant in the event of a fire emergency on a vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the specific equipment required by the regulations for fire hydrants. A pick axe, all-purpose nozzle, or foam applicator, while potentially useful firefighting equipment, are not the specific requirements for fire hydrant setups as per the Coast Guard's guidelines.
