How many handheld fire extinguishers are in the passenger cabin?

• A. Six
• B. Five
• C. Four
• D. Seven

Answer: (A)

This item is testing how many handheld fire extinguishers are kept in the passenger cabin to ensure quick access across the seating area. Six extinguishers are placed throughout the cabin so there’s a unit near each main exit and in additional zones such as the galley and mid-cabin, allowing crew and passengers to reach one quickly if a fire starts. This arrangement balances the need for rapid response with practical limits on weight and space, which is why six is the standard count in this context. Having fewer would risk delays or inaccessible extinguishers, while more would be unnecessary for typical configurations. Note that extinguishers in the cockpit are counted separately from those in the passenger cabin.
