Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR) require how many 15 pound carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to be installed in the boiler room of an 8,000 horsepower steam propelled vessel?

Correct Answer: Option A — Two

46 CFR Table 34.50-10(a) specifies the minimum number of portable fire extinguishers required based on vessel type and machinery space size. For an 8,000 horsepower steam-propelled vessel, the regulations mandate two 15-pound carbon dioxide extinguishers specifically for the boiler room to address potential Class B fires.
