Question 263General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) Station bill. The station bill is the component of a pre-fire planning package that contains the information pertaining to general instructions, fire and emergency instructions and signals, abandon ship instructions and signals, and assigns individual emergency response duties and responsibilities for each crew member by position. This is in accordance with the US Coast Guard regulations and requirements for pre-fire planning on commercial vessels. The other options are incorrect because: A) The pre-fire plan provides an overview of the vessel's fire safety systems and equipment, but does not assign individual emergency responsibilities. B) The fire control plan shows the location of firefighting equipment, but does not assign individual duties. D) The muster list simply lists the crew assignments, without the detailed emergency instructions found in the station bill.
