What additional fire fighting equipment is necessary for boats 6m up to 9m with a fuel-burning appliance?

  1. An additional 5BC fire extinguisher

  2. A 10BC portable fire extinguisher

  3. A hose and a bucket of sand

  4. No additional equipment is necessary

The correct answer is: An additional 5BC fire extinguisher

Boats that are 6m up to 9m in length with a fuel-burning appliance require an additional 5BC fire extinguisher as per the US Coast Guard regulations. Option B, a 10BC portable fire extinguisher, is not necessary as it is only required for boats over 9m in length. Option C, a hose and a bucket of sand, may be helpful in an emergency but is not a substitute for a proper fire extinguisher. Option D, no additional equipment is necessary, is incorrect as the US Coast Guard requires an additional fire extinguisher for this type of boat.
