Where can fire and abandon ship stations and duties be found?

• A. On the muster list.
• B. In the ship's radio room.
• C. In the engine room notes.
• D. In the watch bill.

Answer: (A)

During emergencies, the muster list specifies where fire and abandon ship stations are and what duties each person has. This document is the official roster that assigns crew to specific muster stations, fire parties, and abandon-ship roles, ensuring a clear, organized, and coordinated response during drills and real events. It also indicates reporting paths and responsibilities, so everyone knows exactly who does what and where to go when the alarm sounds.

The radio room houses communications procedures and the radio operator’s tasks, not the full set of emergency station assignments. The engine room notes cover engine operations and engineer on-duty duties, not the ship’s muster locations for firefighting or abandoning ship. The watch bill shows who is on watch, but it does not designate emergency stations and duties for fire or abandon-ship procedures.
