Where should the fire extinguisher be placed on a vessel?

  1. In an accessible area not near the engine

  2. In the engine compartment

  3. Below deck

  4. On the top deck

The correct answer is: In an accessible area not near the engine

The fire extinguisher should be placed in an accessible area that is not near the engine. This is because placing it near the engine could increase the risk of it being damaged or rendered unusable in case of a fire. Additionally, the engine compartment can quickly become very hot during a fire, making it unsafe for anyone to access the extinguisher. Placing it on the top deck or below deck may also make it difficult to access during an emergency. Therefore, option A is the safest and most practical choice.
