Canadian Boating Practice Exam

For boats 9m up to 12m, what fire fighting equipment is required if equipped with a fuel-burning appliance?

1. An additional 10BC fire extinguisher

2. A built-in fire suppression system

3. Three 5BC fire extinguishers

4. One axe and two fire buckets

The correct answer is: An additional 10BC fire extinguisher

For boats 9m up to 12m, the required fire fighting equipment if equipped with a fuel-burning appliance is an additional 10BC fire extinguisher. Option B is incorrect because a built-in fire suppression system is only required for boats over 12m in length. Option C is incorrect because three 5BC fire extinguishers are only required for boats over 12m in length. Option D is incorrect because an axe and two fire buckets are not required for boats equipped with a fuel-burning appliance, regardless of length.
