A Type B fire has been reported onboard your vessel. What type of materials would your fire teams expect to find at the scene?

Correct Answer: Option A — Flammable liquids, greases, etc., where a blanketing effect is essential

Class B fires involve flammable liquids and greases. The primary firefighting strategy is to apply a blanketing agent, such as foam or dry chemical, to separate the fuel from the oxygen supply. This prevents the fire from continuing to burn and is the standard procedure for liquid fuel hazards.
