Which type of fire extinguisher is required for a boat less than 26 feet in length?

  1. One B-II

  2. One B-1

  3. Two B-1

  4. Three B-I

The correct answer is: One B-1

For a boat less than 26 feet in length, the requirement is to carry at least one B-1 fire extinguisher. The B-1 extinguisher is specifically designed for marine environments, focusing on small fires that might occur from flammable liquids or electrical equipment. The requirement for a single B-1 extinguisher ensures that boat operators are equipped to handle small fires, which can be a significant safety hazard on watercraft. Given the size of the boat, a single B-1 extinguisher is considered sufficient under federal and state regulations. Boats under 26 feet are typically smaller and may not require an extensive fire suppression system, making the B-1 an appropriate choice for addressing potential fire risks while still keeping safety as a priority.
