Fire extinguishers on a boat must comply with the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, which require that vessels have at least one fire extinguisher if they are equipped with an engine, regardless of size. The type and number of extinguishers depend on the boat's length and the type of fire hazards present. Additionally, extinguishers should be easily accessible, properly maintained, and have a current inspection tag to ensure they are functional in case of an emergency.
Fire extinguishers should be stored and mounted where they are readily accessible on a boat, where they will not be damaged and where they can be inspected regularly.

A cost guard requirement for fire extinguishers typically includes ensuring that extinguishers are inspected and maintained regularly, adhering to the guidelines set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This includes checking for proper placement, ensuring the extinguishers are fully charged, and verifying that they are free from damage. Additionally, proper training for personnel on how to use extinguishers is often a key requirement. Compliance with these standards helps ensure safety and effectiveness in case of a fire emergency.
