A Coast Guard requirement for a fire extinguisher is that it must be USCG-approved and appropriately sized based on the vessel's length and type. Additionally, it must be readily accessible, properly mounted, and maintained in good working condition. Vessels over 26 feet are typically required to have at least one B-1 type fire extinguisher.
