What should be your FIRST action when responding to fires on your boat?

  1. Grab the fire extinguisher

  2. Stop the engine immediately

  3. Jump into the water

  4. Call for help

The correct answer is: Stop the engine immediately

When responding to fires on a boat, the first step should be to stop the engine immediately. This will prevent the fire from spreading further and potentially causing more damage. Grabbing the fire extinguisher should be done once the engine is turned off. Jumping into the water is not a recommended action as it puts you at risk of hypothermia and drowning. Calling for help should also be done after stopping the engine, as it is important to try to contain the fire before seeking outside assistance.
