In response to a fire on the main deck or in the accommodation spaces, who would ordinarily report immediately to the scene of the fire and act as second in command of the fire team led by the chief mate?

AChief Engineer
BFirst Assistant Engineer
CSecond Assistant Engineer
DThird Assistant Engineer
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) First Assistant Engineer. According to regulations, in the event of a fire on the main deck or in the accommodation spaces, the First Assistant Engineer would ordinarily report immediately to the scene of the fire and act as second in command of the fire team led by the Chief Mate. The First Assistant Engineer is responsible for the engine room and mechanical systems, and as such would have the necessary expertise to assist the Chief Mate in coordinating the fire response efforts. The other options are incorrect because the Chief Engineer, Second Assistant Engineer, and Third Assistant Engineer would have different responsibilities or less direct involvement in the fire response team compared to the First Assistant Engineer.
