An important component of pre-planning for fire emergencies is the fire control plan. What types of drawings are generally furnished in the fire control plan?

AEnd elevation views (from bow and stern)
BPerspective view (overall)
CTop plan views (for each deck)
DSide elevation views (from port and starboard)
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Top plan views (for each deck). The fire control plan typically includes top plan views (or deck plans) for each deck of the vessel. These plan views show the layout of the vessel, the location of fire-fighting equipment, escape routes, and other important information needed to respond effectively to a fire emergency. Top plan views provide a clear, comprehensive overview of the vessel's fire safety features and access points, which is critical for pre-planning and coordinating fire response efforts. The other answer options, while potentially useful, are not the primary components of a standard fire control plan. End elevation views, perspective views, and side elevation views may be included in addition to the top plan views, but the top plan views are the most essential and commonly included elements of the fire control plan.
