Which portable fire extinguisher is normally recharged in a shore facility?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide cylinders operate under high pressures (approx. 850 psi at 70°F) and require specialized pumps, scales, and liquid gas transfer manifolds found exclusively in certified shore-side recharging facilities, unlike cartridge-operated water or dry chemical units.
