Question: 1 / 400

What should you do immediately if a boat motor catches on fire?

Jump into the water

Shut off the fuel supply and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher

In this situation, it is important to act quickly and calmly in order to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Jumping into the water (A) may not be the best option as it could put you at risk of further injury or exposure to the fire. Accelerating (C) will only increase the intensity of the fire. While calling for help (D) is important, it should not be the immediate action to take. The best course of action would be to first shut off the fuel supply (if possible) and then attempt to put out the fire with an extinguisher. This will help to limit the spread of the fire and give you time to properly assess the situation and call for help if needed.
