What does a B-1 fire extinguisher do?
B-I is the minimum US Coast Guard approval rating for extinguishers on powerboats. It corresponds to a UL Class 5-B:C, 2-pound, dry chemical extinguisher that has been properly packaged and mounted for USCG approvals as well. It could also mean a 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or a 7-quart foam extinguisher. What can you do with it? Well, a B-1 rated extinguisher is just the thing for putting out "flammable liquid" fires on boats, a B-1 or B-2 rated extinguisher being required by the Coast Guard to operate the vessel. If the gasoline or diesel fuel spills and catches fire, your extinguisher will probably be adequate to put it out, provided that you act promptly. The UL 5-B rating implies that a novice firefighter can extinguish 5 square feet of flaming liquid fuel using that extinguisher. The C rating means it is also approved for use on energized electrical fires, i.e., it is non-conductive.
What type of fire extinguishers should be onboard a vessel with a permanently installed fuel tank?
Usually one or more USCG-approved Class B-I or B-II are required. According to US Coast Guard regulations (46 CFR 25.30): At least one USCG-approved Class B-1 fire extinguisher is required on any powerboat with a permanently installed fuel tank. A UL-listed 5-B:C extinguisher, with 2 pounds of dry chemical, may provide the basis for the extinguisher, but it must ALSO conform to USCG-approvals (proper corrosion protection, labeling, mounting bracket, etc). A 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or 6 quarts foam extinguisher may also be rated for USCG B-1 service. Powerboats over 26 feet may require additional extinguishers, as detailed in the related questions. Up to 26 feet: one B-I extinguisher; Over 26 but under 40 feet: two B-I extinguishers; Over 40 feet but not over 65 feet: three B-I. Note that two B-I extinguishers may be substituted for a B-II extinguisher. NOTE: When a fixed fire extinguisher system is installed in the machinery space(s), it will replace one B-1 type portable extinguisher.
