Question 1247 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) dismissal from fire and emergency stations. The 3 short blasts on the whistle and 3 short rings on the general alarm bells is the standard signal used to indicate that the emergency or drill is over and personnel should be dismissed from their fire and emergency stations. This signal notifies the crew that the threat or incident has been resolved and they can now return to their regular duties. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) abandon ship is a different signal, usually 7 or more short blasts, and D) fire and emergency is too broad - this signal specifically indicates the end of the fire/emergency response, not the start.
