P.3. Fire
Extinguisher(s)
Defender Class boats have two B-1 type fire extinguishers (Figure 3-96)
installed. One is mounted in the cabin, port side on the heater access panel,
and one is mounted in the starboard aft equipment locker. Each extinguisher
contains approximately two pounds of dry chemical agent (ammonium
phosphate) that will discharge in 9 to 10 seconds once the handle is activated.
This type of extinguisher is designed to be used on Class A, B, and C fires.

injuries normally encountered during craft underway evolutions. Each

and splinters, sprains and fractures, CPR, and burns. The kit also contains a
place to store personal over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs.
