Correct Answer: Option C — One man report the fire, one man fight the fire and one man evacuate and secure the area.
Effective emergency response requires a coordinated effort. One person must report the fire to the bridge to initiate the alarm, one person begins immediate suppression to prevent fire growth, and one person secures the area to prevent the spread of smoke and fire, ensuring the safety of the ship.
