In the LR configuration, red-handled extinguisher locations include which compartments?

• A. Aisle-side compartment and last overhead bin
• B. Compartment above wardrobe closet and last overhead bin
• C. Cockpit only
• D. Cargo hold only

Answer: (A)

Access to cabin fire extinguishers is prioritized for quick reach by the crew, so their locations in the LR configuration are chosen to be easily reachable during an in‑flight incident. The red-handled extinguisher is placed in an aisle-side compartment and in the last overhead bin. This pairing lets flight attendants grab an extinguisher rapidly from the main cabin—one from the aisle area for immediate access as they move through the cabin, and another from the rear section via the last overhead bin to reach fires that may occur farther aft. Placing extinguishers only in the cockpit or only in the cargo hold would slow response to fires in the passenger cabin, which is why those locations aren’t correct for this configuration.
