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 Subchapter F mandates specific fire extinguisher quantities based on vessel horsepower and space type. For an 8,000 horsepower steam-propelled vessel, the boiler room requires two 15-pound carbon dioxide extinguishers. These units provide rapid, clean-agent suppression for Class B fuel fires common in machinery spaces.
