How many fire buckets are required on boats between 12m and 24m?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. No fire buckets are required

The correct answer is: Two

Fire buckets are an essential safety feature on boats to handle any potential fire emergencies. The number of fire buckets required depends on the size of the boat. According to maritime regulations, boats between 12m and 24m are required to have two fire buckets onboard. Option A and D are incorrect because one fire bucket is insufficient and no fire buckets at all would not meet safety regulations. Option C is incorrect because three fire buckets are only necessary for boats over 24m. Therefore, the correct answer is B Two fire buckets are required on boats between 12m and 24m for safety purposes.
