Question 44Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) dry chemical hose reel system. The illustration SF-0009 is depicting a dry chemical hose reel system, which is a common type of fire extinguishing equipment found on many vessels. Dry chemical systems use a dry powder agent that is effective against Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (energized electrical) fires. This makes them a suitable choice for many marine applications. The other options are incorrect because halon 1301 systems are less common today due to environmental concerns, CO2 systems are typically used for enclosed spaces, and light water systems are more specialized for certain types of fires.
