Question 710 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) Classes B and C. The engine room of a vessel is likely to experience fires involving flammable liquids (Class B) and energized electrical equipment (Class C). Class B fires involve flammable liquids, gases, and greases, which are common in the engine room. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, which is also prevalent in the engine room. Therefore, the most likely fire classes to occur in the engine room are Class B and Class C. The other answer choices are incorrect because Class A fires involve ordinary combustible materials, which are less common in the engine room compared to flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment. Class D fires involve combustible metals, which are unlikely to be present in significant quantities in a typical engine room.
